Watson Marlow 503S Pump
Simple, Reliable Fluid Control
The Watson Marlow 503S manufactured by Watson-Marlow Fluid Technology Group is a fluid transfer peristaltic pump with manual control that features durability for liquid handling in an industrial or laboratory setting. It ensures safety, accuracy, and cleanliness during liquid transfer and is useful in clean liquid movements where automation is not needed.
In quality control and manufacturing processes, the 503S has the capability to transport a variety of liquids, from sensitive biological materials to corrosive chemicals, without causing damage to the pump or fluid used. Its simple mechanical construction, fixed with a manual speed controller, makes it perfect for routine flows of laboratory work that require constant flow as it eliminates advanced programming.
Features and Benefits
The Watson Marlow 503S forms part of the company's well-known series of 500 peristaltic pumps, which are trusted all over the world for their clean and gentle fluid handling. Like all other peristaltic pumps, the working principle of 503S involves compressing flexible tubes using rollers that rotate, thus moving liquid forward without any possibility of contact with mechanical parts. This design shortens maintenance while minimizing contamination risks.
Outstanding features are the following:
- Manual Speed Control: Turn dial operated flow control
- Speed Range: 5 to 220 RPM offers a broad range of flow settings
- Flow Rates: From 0.1 mL/min to 1700 mL/min based on pump head and tubing used
- Pumphead Compatibility: Watson Marlow 503L and 503R pumpheads are compatible
- Lab Space Saver: Compact design for space-limited laboratory environments
- Minimal Care Requirements: Maintenance-free due to no seals or valves; only fluid contacting the tubing
- Motor Functions: Fills and drains systems by reversal of direction for easy removal
- Tubing Versatility: Silicone, Marprene®, other lab-grade materials accepted
- Low Noise Emission: Quiet operation with low vibration and noise emission critical for some labs
The 503S pump is straightforward and simple. Tubing replacement or flushing is all that is required between uses because fluids remain in the tubing; therefore, no disassembly is needed. This makes it an economical option for laboratories requiring swift, fluid exchanges or sterile processing cycles as well as safe, frequent use.
The Watson Marlow 503S is very popular in modern laboratories and industries as it handles fluids precisely and cleanly and does not require advanced digital controls. It is widely utilized in:
- Biotech Labs: Supplies nutrients to bioreactors and assists in culture media transfer.
Pharmaceutical Production: Contains small volume batch process, ingredient transfer, and sample filling.
Academic Research Labs: Assists students during teaching sessions or in performing manual tasks such as fluid transfer due to its simplicity.
Chemical Testing Labs: Helps pump aggressive solvents or acids that would normally damage the pump.
Water Treatment and Environmental Laboratories: Pumps reagents or buffer solutions needed for testing.
Food And Beverage R&D: Transfers Flavors, enzymes, or any liquid adders without the risk of shear damage due to their gentle nature.
General Laboratory Use: Used where low-pulsation bubble-free liquid transfer is needed is useful in open systems or closed-loop systems.
Due to precision repeatability control for steps performed manually, the Watson Marlow 503S is an ideal option for fluid handling tasks. As a basic level device, it assists labs in equipping their base laboratory with diverse devices for expanding their capabilities.
