Overview
The Baoding BT101F/BT301F/BT601F series represents a class of microprocessor-controlled peristaltic pumps engineered for high-precision fluid dispensing in laboratory, analytical, and light industrial applications. Operating on the fundamental principle of peristalsis—where rollers compress elastomeric tubing to generate positive displacement—the system delivers repeatable, pulse-free, and contamination-free fluid transfer without exposing internal components to the process medium. Unlike centrifugal or diaphragm pumps, peristaltic mechanisms eliminate the need for valves, seals, or wetted metal parts, making them inherently suitable for shear-sensitive, abrasive, viscous, or sterile liquids. This series integrates closed-loop motor control, real-time flow modeling, and adaptive tubing parameter mapping to minimize volumetric deviation caused by roller acceleration/deceleration transients—a common source of error in time-based dispensing systems. Designed for ISO/IEC 17025-compliant laboratories and GLP environments, the pump supports traceable operation through timestamped event logging and configurable audit trails.
Key Features
- Capacitive 65,535-color touchscreen interface with intuitive icon-driven navigation and multilingual UI support (English, German, French, Spanish preloaded)
- Intelligent Expert System that recommends optimal tubing material (e.g., silicone, Viton®, Tygon®), inner diameter, wall thickness, and pump head type (YZ15, YZ25, DG1, DG2) based on user-specified flow rate, total volume, and operational duration
- Three dispensing modes: Time-based (duration-controlled), Volume-based (liquid-volume-targeted), and Copy mode (replay of previously recorded dispensing sequence with identical timing and volume parameters)
- Cumulative volume tracking with non-volatile memory retention—records total dispensed volume across power cycles and session resets
- Active thermal management with variable-speed fan control reduces acoustic noise to ≤38 dB(A) at 1 m distance during continuous operation
- Isolated digital I/O and analog signal inputs (0–5 V, 0–10 V, 4–20 mA, 0–10 kHz) enable seamless integration into PLC-controlled or SCADA-monitored workflows
- RS485 serial interface compliant with Modbus RTU protocol for remote configuration, status polling, and firmware updates via host PC or industrial controller
- Infrared remote control support enables hands-free operation in glovebox, biosafety cabinet, or laminar flow hood environments
Sample Compatibility & Compliance
The BT101F/BT301F/BT601F series accommodates a broad spectrum of tubing configurations, including standard domestic ID/OD specifications (e.g., #13–#25 Norprene® equivalents) and internationally recognized sizes (0.13–3.17 mm ID). Compatibility extends to chemically resistant materials such as fluorosilicone, EPDM, and C-Flex® for handling organic solvents, acids, bases, and biological buffers. All pump heads—including YZ15 (single-channel), YZ25 (dual-channel), and DG-series (high-pressure single-tube)—are precision-machined from corrosion-resistant aluminum alloy with hardened steel rollers and PTFE-coated cam surfaces to ensure long-term dimensional stability and minimal torque variation. The device meets IEC 61000-6-2 (EMC immunity) and IEC 61000-6-4 (EMC emissions) standards. While not certified for hazardous locations, its design conforms to general-purpose electrical safety requirements per IEC 61010-1 for laboratory equipment.
Software & Data Management
No proprietary PC software is required for basic operation; however, optional Windows-based configuration utility provides advanced calibration, batch programming, and data export (CSV/Excel). All operational events—including start/stop timestamps, mode selection, speed changes, and cumulative volume increments—are stored in onboard flash memory with automatic rollover. Audit trail functionality supports FDA 21 CFR Part 11 compliance when used with external electronic lab notebook (ELN) systems that enforce user authentication and electronic signature workflows. Exported logs include pump ID, firmware version, operator ID (if assigned), and environmental metadata (ambient temperature, humidity). Firmware updates are performed via USB-to-serial adapter or Modbus register write commands, preserving all user-defined presets and calibration offsets.
Applications
These pumps serve critical roles in pharmaceutical QC labs (buffer preparation, reagent dosing for HPLC mobile phase mixing), academic research (cell culture media perfusion, microfluidic chip priming), environmental testing (automated sample aliquoting for ICP-MS digestion), and food & beverage R&D (flavor concentrate metering, viscosity standard dilution). Their ability to deliver sub-microliter repeatability (CV <1.2% at ≥1 mL/min with calibrated tubing) makes them suitable for ISO 8573-1 compressed air moisture sampling, ASTM D4052 density determination setups, and USP dissolution apparatus feed systems. In bioprocessing, they function as peristaltic feed pumps for single-use bioreactors where tubing integrity and sterilizability are paramount.
FAQ
What tubing types are validated for use with the BT101F-YZ15 pump head?
Standard validation covers silicone (Shore A 50), Norprene® A-60-F, and Tygon® LFL. Custom tubing qualification reports are available upon request for GMP-regulated installations.
Can the pump be integrated into a LabVIEW or Python-controlled automation platform?
Yes—Modbus RTU over RS485 enables native communication with National Instruments DAQmx drivers and PyModbus libraries. Sample scripts and register maps are provided in the technical documentation package.
Is there a built-in calibration routine for volumetric accuracy verification?
The system supports manual gravimetric calibration using NIST-traceable analytical balances. Calibration coefficients are stored per tubing set and recalled automatically when matching tubing IDs are selected in the Expert System.
Does the pump meet IP rating requirements for dust or splash resistance?
The BT101F features an IP20-rated enclosure (IEC 60529), suitable for cleanroom Class 8 (ISO 14644-1) and general laboratory benchtop use. For higher ingress protection, custom enclosures with IP54-rated housings are available as OEM options.
How is firmware updated, and what safeguards prevent corruption during update?
Updates are performed via dual-bank flash memory architecture: the active firmware remains functional while the inactive bank is rewritten. A checksum-verified rollback mechanism restores the prior version if boot validation fails.
