Yes, you can manually operate the Parker SciLog LabTec pump using the keypad in Manual Mode. You can adjust the pump speed by pressing the "Amount" key, making the necessary adjustment, and pressing "Select." This allows you to empty the tubing without needing a computer.

    The peristaltic pump head is specifically designed for use with the LabTec™ system. The Parker pump heads (models 1082 & 1081) will provide you with rugged reliabili- ty as long as common sense maintenance and good quality pump tubing are used. For most dispens- applications, you should be using the 1082 (P/N: 080-1082) together with either #24 or #15(thick- walled) silicone pump tubing.

      6.0 FMI Piston Pump Heads: General Information The LabTec™ FM-200 and FM-520 pumps use rotating, reciprocating piston pump heads of various sizes. In this style of pump head, the rotating piston moves to and from inside a cylinder; sucking in fluid at the inlet while transferring and releasing the fluid at the outlet.

If you purchased the LabTec™ controller with a FMI pump head already mounted, you can disregard these directions. However, if you purchased your FMI pump head separately, you will need to mount the pump head.
  • Page 37   6.4 FMI Pump Heads: Cleaning Cleaning of Pump Head: Routine flushing with solvent before shutdown will work for most applications.

  • Page 82: Care And Use Of Sterilizing Filters

      6.0 Care and Use of Sterilizing Filters Many laboratories use sterilizing filters instead of autoclaving to sterilize media. Using filters instead of autoclaving increases productivity in the laboratory and protects technicians from handling hot and / or heavy containers. Autoclaving is very labor intensive and also uses a great deal of energy. When using filters, as with any technology, there is a protocol you should develop and always should be followed to safely and effectively implement your application.
