The day of extruded peristaltic pump tubes is over. UPCOA has discovered an unfulfilled need in the medical and diagnostics markets, something overlooked by the insiders: inexpensive tubes for peristaltic pumps, but with performance predictability well beyond that presently achievable with extruded tubes.

With no limit as to the configuration of the integral ferrules molded into the one-piece UPCOA Peri-Tubes™, the OEM manufacturer of peristaltic pumps can now bid good-bye to one of the major impediments to contamination-free diagnostic fluid flow—the connection points of the tubes and ferrules always in existence with extruded tube construction.

UPCOA Peri-Tubes™ have eliminated yet another serious tolerance drawback inherent in extruded pump tubes, that of random concentricity and the resulting inconsistent flow rates. Still more: a tube-to-tube flow prediction of better than 3% means a threefold increase in performance over extruded tubes.
