ISMATEC® REGLO-IP Standard 16-Channel Peristaltic Pump, 230 VAC, 60 Hz

Overview

The ISMATEC® REGLO-IP Standard 16-Channel Peristaltic Pump is a precision-engineered digital peristaltic pumping system designed for high-reproducibility fluid handling in regulated laboratory and pilot-scale process environments. Utilizing a planetary gear drive mechanism with eight stainless steel rotors per channel, the REGLO-IP minimizes pulsation and ensures stable, laminar flow profiles—critical for applications requiring low shear stress, contamination-free transfer, and repeatable volumetric delivery. Unlike conventional stepper-motor-driven peristaltic pumps, this system employs closed-loop speed control and real-time torque monitoring to maintain consistent occlusion pressure across all 16 channels, thereby extending tubing service life and reducing maintenance frequency. Its architecture supports both standalone operation and seamless integration into automated workflows via analog voltage (0–10 V), TTL pulse, or RS-232/USB communication protocols.

Key Features

• 16 independent, synchronized peristaltic channels with individual flow-rate adjustment and status monitoring
• Digital planetary gear drive delivering <0.5% flow coefficient of variation (CV) under steady-state conditions
• 5-inch capacitive TFT/RGB touchscreen with wide viewing angle and glove-compatible responsiveness
• Three-tier user access control (Operator / Supervisor / Administrator) with password protection and activity logging
• Metered dispensing mode with programmable volume, speed ramping, and post-dispense dwell time to minimize droplet formation and sample loss
• Timed dispensing with configurable on/off intervals and cycle repetition for batch processing
• On-device storage for up to 50 user-defined programs—including flow profiles, pause sequences, and multi-step protocols
• Auto-engagement pump head cartridges ensuring repeatable tubing compression and eliminating manual occlusion calibration
• Compatibility with ISMATEC Micropump A- and B-series gear pump heads, supporting tubing inner diameters from 0.13 mm to 3.2 mm

Sample Compatibility & Compliance

The REGLO-IP accommodates a broad range of chemically resistant tubing materials—including platinum-cured silicone, Viton®, Tygon® LFL, and PharMed® BPT—enabling safe handling of aqueous, organic, acidic, and mildly caustic solutions. Its design conforms to mechanical safety requirements per IEC 61010-1 and electromagnetic compatibility standards per IEC 61326-1. When operated in conjunction with MASTERFLEX LIVE® software, the system supports 21 CFR Part 11-compliant electronic records, including operator authentication, parameter change history, and timestamped run logs—making it suitable for quality control laboratories operating under ISO/IEC 17025, USP , or pharmaceutical GMP frameworks.

Software & Data Management

MASTERFLEX LIVE® software provides centralized configuration, remote monitoring, and data export capabilities for the REGLO-IP platform. It enables real-time graphing of flow rate vs. time per channel, CSV-based export of dispense logs, and firmware updates via USB or network connection. Audit trail functionality records all critical events—including program edits, user logins, and emergency stop activations—with immutable timestamps. The software also supports custom report generation aligned with internal SOP templates and facilitates integration with LIMS or MES systems through OPC UA or Modbus TCP interfaces.

Applications

This 16-channel system is routinely deployed in analytical sample preparation (e.g., automated dilution series for HPLC or ICP-MS), bioprocess media feeding, continuous-flow synthesis reactors, environmental water sampling networks, and cell culture perfusion systems. Its low-pulsation performance makes it particularly suitable for applications involving shear-sensitive biologicals (e.g., extracellular vesicles, primary cells), while its modular architecture allows reconfiguration for parallel screening assays or gradient elution setups in chromatography labs.

FAQ

What tubing sizes are supported by the REGLO-IP when used with Micropump A- and B-series heads?
Standard configurations support ID ranges from 0.13 mm to 3.2 mm; exact compatibility depends on selected pump head model and tubing material durometer.
Can the REGLO-IP be controlled remotely via Ethernet or Wi-Fi?
Native Ethernet connectivity is not built-in; however, remote operation is achievable via USB-to-Ethernet adapters or industrial protocol gateways supporting Modbus TCP.
Is validation documentation available for IQ/OQ/PQ execution?
Yes—Masterflex provides a comprehensive Validation Support Package including URS templates, FAT/SAT checklists, and test protocols aligned with ASTM E2500 and GAMP5 guidelines.
How frequently does the pump require recalibration?
No routine recalibration is required; the planetary drive system maintains positional accuracy over time, and occlusion consistency is preserved through the auto-engagement cartridge design.
Does the REGLO-IP meet explosion-proof requirements for hazardous area use?
It is rated for general laboratory use (Class I, Division 2); for Class I, Division 1 environments, external explosion-proof enclosures compliant with NEC 500 must be employed.
