Digitally controlled liquid handling

20 years ago Delta Scientific Medical developed the first digitally controlled precision pumps. Before this time peristaltic tube pumps were known to pump rather unprecise amounts of fluid from one container to another, but using digital technology, which the company in Herlev has continued to develop, to the state of the art, the pumps can now dispense liquids with a precision better than 0.5%, make dilutions with the same accuracy, calibrate in a matter of seconds, and deliver a print-out of all operations data, including calibration. Thus the tube pump has developed into a workstation, performing many different tasks in the modern laboratory, and, with unsurpassed user friendliness.
