Foot Switch for Peristaltic Pumps

Overview

The Foot Switch for Peristaltic Pumps is a specialized accessory designed to provide hands-free operation control for peristaltic pump systems. The pedal connects to the pump via a DB15 (D-sub 15-pin) cable, allowing researchers and laboratory technicians to maintain precise control over fluid dispensing while keeping their hands free for other critical tasks during experiments and procedures.

Key Features

This foot switch offers reliable, hands-free operation that enhances laboratory efficiency and safety. The robust construction ensures durability in demanding laboratory environments, while the ergonomic design provides comfortable operation during extended use. The unit terminates in a standard DB15 (D-sub 15-pin) female connector, providing instant start/stop control for any peristaltic pump with a matching DB15 foot-switch port. The stable base prevents sliding during operation and the electrical connections are designed for consistent performance.

Applications

Ideal for applications requiring precise timing and hands-free pump control, including analytical chemistry procedures, sample preparation, reagent dispensing, and automated liquid handling protocols. Particularly valuable in sterile environments where maintaining aseptic conditions is critical, such as cell culture work, pharmaceutical research, and clinical laboratory procedures. The foot switch is essential for applications where operators need to maintain focus on delicate manipulations while controlling fluid flow, making it indispensable for microscopy work, titrations, and multi-step analytical procedures.
