Watson Marlow 505U microprocessor control peristaltic pump
Precision Fluid Handling Made Easy
The Watson Marlow 505U Digital Peristaltic Pump manufactured by Watson Marlow is a clean, precise, and repeatable fluid transfer system which is used in laboratories and industries which require accurate liquid handling. The versatility and dependability of the Watson Marlow pump make them ideal for low-maintenance systems that require the accurate dispensing of reagents as well as the gentle moving of biological liquids, even through sterile processing lines.
This peristaltic pump model has specific usage for cross-contamination avoidance in pharmaceutical production, biotechnology research and chemical process industries. For sterile or corrosive media, pumps of this type are best suited because the fluids only link the tubing during peristaltic action, not the pump.
Features and Benefits
The Watson Marlow 500 series features all the benefits of the trusted brand, so it is also separated by digital accuracy, reliability, ease of use and robust construction. The machine incorporates user-friendly interfaces with flow control, making it easy to serve both simple transfer tasks as well as advanced laboratory procedures.

- Compact Bench-Top Design: Additionally, Compact Design Saves Space but still delivers Industrial level performance.
The non-contact pumping mechanism enables the 505U to be uncontaminated by aggressive chemicals while handling fragile cells or sterile fluids, as it will not cause crop damage. This is ideal for sensitive environments that require high purity standards.
Watson Marlow 505U's versatility is well-known in scientific, academic, and industrial fields. Its importance can be highlighted through the following:
- Biotech Laboratories – In-culture media transfer, bioreactor feeding, and sterile fluid transport.
- Pharmaceutical Manufacturing – Batching, formulation, and fluid transfer in cleanrooms are performed with precision.
- Analytical Chemistry – Suppling solvents, reagents, and mobile phases for analytical instruments with metered accuracy.
- University and Teaching Labs – For demonstration of principles of fluid mechanics or for performing controlled experiments.
- Environmental Water Sample Examination – Dosing nutrients, chemicals, or buffering agents into samples or reactors.
- Food And Beverage Laboratories – Addition of flavour extracts, enzymes, or other additives made without shear damage or contamination.
- Chemical Process Industries – Safe enclosed-loop transfer systems for acids, bases and solvents.
From low-volume lab work to scaled-up control processes requiring careful measuring of fluids like in the 505U used during analytical chemistry sessions, ease-of-use integration makes it suitable for advanced automation systems at laboratories as well as production lines.
Trusted Flow, Every Time
For precision and repeatability in programmable fluid transfer tasks, dependability is essential. In such cases, the Watson Marlow 505U Digital Peristaltic Pump offers consistent performance. Its intuitive control interface provides automation with minimal risk of damage from its soft pumping action, which can be integrated into numerous settings ranging from laboratories to industrial workflows.
