OverviewThe 300 series combines performance, practicality and compact panel-mount design. Its flip-top pumphead enables fast, error-free tube changes and makes the series suitable for OEM integration in medical devices, biotechnology and diagnostics. Typical capabilities include medium to high continuous flows (up to ~2,050 mL/min depending on pumphead and drive) and compatibility with multiple tubing sizes.
Pumpheads- Available in three-, four-, six- and eight-roller versions (more rollers = greater accuracy and reduced pulsation).
- Supports 13 tubing sizes, providing flows to ~2 L/min continuous or ~3 L/min intermittent depending on head and drive.
- IXEF moulded pumpheads available in multiple colours for material and visual options.
- Multi-channel and extension-head configurations possible (subject to drive torque).
- Flip-top design allows secure, error-free tube change in seconds.

Standards / compliance examples: BS EN 55011-2016+A2-2021; BS EN 61010-1; IEC 61326-1; CAN/CSA C22.2 No 61010-1; CE; FCC 47CFR (Part 15); RoHS; UL 61010-1.
Performance notes- Flows range from sub-microlitre-per-minute (with appropriate head and tubing) up to multi-L/min depending on configuration.
- Some configurations deliver up to ~2,050 mL/min (e.g. 313D with larger bore at high rpm); VDL/VBM/FDM/FAM variants cover ranges from a few mL/min to ~1,450–1,760 mL/min depending on head and speed.
- Performance figures refer to water at specified voltages with zero inlet/discharge pressure; actual results depend on tubing, backpressure, voltage and system integration.
