Quantum: Redefining peristaltic technology for bioprocessing

Traditionally, peristaltic pumps have been the pump of choice in low pressure upstream processes including fermentation feed and media transfer. The gentle peristaltic pumping action guarantees low shear, high accuracy and zero cross contamination to uphold cell viability and corresponding high cell densities.

Quantum: Redefining peristaltic technology for bioprocessing

Traditionally, peristaltic pumps have been the pump of choice in low pressure upstream processes including fermentation feed and media transfer. The gentle peristaltic pumping action guarantees low shear, high accuracy and zero cross contamination to uphold cell viability and corresponding high cell densities.

With this knowledge in mind, Watson-Marlow Fluid Technology Group designed and developed Quantum to redefine the use of peristaltic pump technology specifically for downstream bioprocessing.

By adding Quantum’s unique and revolutionary capabilities to the established peristaltic pumping principle—matched with ReNu SU Technology—Quantum is clearly the most logical choice for downstream bioprocessing.

Trace pulsation at 3 bar

The revolutionary performance provided by Quantum extends the frontiers of peristaltic technology, delivering up to 3 bar constant pressure with only trace pulsation of 0.12 bar throughout the flow range.

Ultra-low shear

Quantum matched with its patented ReNu SU Technology cartridge delivers ultra-low shear and accuracy at set speed throughout the cartridge life. The independent test data demonstrates how Quantum delivers low shear and higher process yields by comparing the mean diameter of fragile oil based emulsion particles as they pass through a pump. The particle breakdown is twice as much with the quaternary pump (grey line) as with Quantum (yellow line). Tests were conducted at 12 L/min and 14.5 psi (1 bar) pressure.

Designed specifically for downstream

Quantum delivers flow linearity throughout the pressure range. With a 4000:1 control ratio, operators can sustain constant transmembrane pressure in micro/ultrafiltration.
