Perfusion establishes the benchmark for high product yield in downstream processing. High cell viability and density should therefore be the major objective. Peristaltic pump systems cause cell damage due to mechanical stress of tube compression. Furthermore, these systems bear the risk of a catastrophic tube rupture due to a possible pressure build-up or tube wear.
Levitronix^® pump systems are designed for demanding perfusion applications where ultra low shear and safe processing ensure the highest yield.
