Featured Product
Model 410 Peristaltic Pump

Compact and lightweight, the Solinst Peristaltic Pump has no vents, grates or openings. This makes it easy to use and easy to maintain and repair. The metal case is extremely robust and water resistant. A handle and one easy-access control on the top of the pump make it perfect for fieldwork. The pump measures 13`` x 5`` x 6-1/2`` (33 cm x 13 cm x 17 cm) and weighs only 8lbs (3.6 Kg).

The mechanical peristaltic operation uses rotating rollers to depress the silicon tubing, creating a vacuum, which displaces any fluid or gas in the chosen direction. It is effective to depths up to the suction lift limit, which varies with elevation, and can be as much as 33 ft or 10 m at sea level.

Editorial

The question of how safe plastic food containers and bottles are has been a long standing one. It has been previously claimed that plastic bottled water containers stored in warm environments can cause serious health problems. However, recent research has proved otherwise.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), which regulates the safety of foods and beverages, has stated that it does not consider bottled water stored in elevated temperatures to be a safety concern. The FDA has found that the levels of migration, due to the use of the plastics in contact with food, are well within the margin of safety based on information available.
