MRC PP-X-1100 Basic Peristaltic Pump

The MRC PP-X-1100 is a basic laboratory peristaltic pump for controlled liquid transfer, reagent feeding, recirculation, filling, and dispensing workflows where a tubing-based fluid path is preferred. With the selection of the YZ1515X or YZ2515X Pump Heads, this system can provide from 0.07 to 1140 mL/min, giving 1 to 300 rpm reversible operation, a 3-digit LED speed display, manual speed adjustment, a prime key for fast filling and emptying, and optional external control for automation or integration into test systems. Labgear USA offers two current configurations: MRC PP-X-1100/YZ1515X for the broadest tubing compatibility and flow rates up to 1140 mL/min, and MRC PP-X-1100/YZ2515X for 15# and 24# tubing applications with flow rates up to 870 mL/min. Select this pump when you need a dependable, easy-to-operate peristaltic tubing pump without paying for advanced touchscreen programming or high-end dispensing controls you may not need.

Applications

Laboratory Fluid Transfer

• Transfer of compatible buffers, reagents, water-based solutions, and general laboratory fluids
• Closed-tubing pumping where the liquid contacts only the selected tubing material
• Recirculation through reservoirs, small instruments, reaction setups, and benchtop systems
• Rinsing, priming, emptying, and controlled movement of fluids between vessels

Research, QA, and Process Development

• Controlled feeding of liquids into pilot-scale test equipment, fixtures, and process experiments
• Repeatable pump speed control for method development and comparative testing after application calibration
• Useful for labs that need a practical variable-speed pump rather than a fully programmable dispensing pump
• Suitable for general scientific, industrial, environmental, and quality-control fluid-handling workflows

Dispensing and Filling

• Timed dispensing when paired with the optional FK-1C dispensing controller
• Intermittent dispensing with adjustable run and pause timing using the optional controller
• Hands-free start/stop operation when paired with an optional footswitch
• Small-batch filling of tubes, bottles, sample containers, and process vessels after calibration with the selected tubing and fluid

OEM-Style and Automated Systems

• External start/stop and direction control for integration into equipment or test stands
• Optional analog, pulse, or communication-based control interfaces for automated workflows
• Appropriate for indoor laboratory and light industrial use where a compact benchtop peristaltic pump is preferred

Features

• Peristaltic pumping keeps the liquid inside the tubing, helping simplify cleanup, fluid changeover, and contamination control when tubing is selected and replaced correctly.
• Two current Labgear USA configurations allow the pump to be matched to either wider tubing-size flexibility or specific higher-wall tubing requirements.
• The YZ1515X pump-head configuration supports 13#, 14#, 19#, 16#, 25#, 17#, and 18# tubing for broad low-to-medium flow coverage.
• The YZ2515X pump-head configuration supports 15# and 24# tubing for applications requiring 2.5 mm wall tubing.
• Manual speed control with a clear LED rpm display makes the pump easy to set up without navigating complex menus.
• Reversible CW/CCW operation supports filling, draining, recirculation, and troubleshooting without re-routing tubing.
• Prime key runs the pump at maximum speed for fast filling, emptying, rinsing, and tubing preparation.
• Optional FK-1C dispensing controller adds timed dispensing, intermittent dispensing, and count-based cycle control when dispensing capability is needed.
• Optional external control interfaces support start/stop, direction, and speed-control integration for automated systems.
• X-series pump heads provide automatic tubing retention, reducing setup effort compared with manual clamp-adjustment heads.
• The pump stores running parameters automatically, helping restore the prior operating setup after routine use.

Specifications

Flow rate depends on pump head, tubing size, tubing material, fluid properties, discharge pressure, and operating speed. For dispensing or metering work, calibrate the pump with the actual tubing, fluid, and operating setup before production use.

Optional Accessories

• FK-1C dispensing controller for timed dispensing, intermittent dispensing, and count-based dispensing cycles (Call Labgear for details at 1-650-254-8333)
• Footswitch for hands-free start/stop control (Call Labgear for details at 1-650-254-8333)
• RS-485 communication control interface
• Compatible tubing in silicone, Pharmed, Norprene, Tygon, Viton, Fluran, and other materials depending on tubing size and fluid compatibility
• Replacement YZ1515X and YZ2515X pump heads (Call Labgear for details at 1-650-254-8333)

FAQs

What is the difference between the PP-X-1100/YZ1515X and PP-X-1100/YZ2515X?

The PP-X-1100/YZ1515X supports 13#, 14#, 19#, 16#, 25#, 17#, and 18# tubing and provides the broadest tubing-size range, with flow rates from 0.07 to 1140 mL/min. The PP-X-1100/YZ2515X supports 15# and 24# tubing and provides flow rates from 1.7 to 870 mL/min. Choose YZ1515X for maximum flexibility or YZ2515X when your application is built around 15# or 24# tubing.

Can the MRC PP-X-1100 be used as a dispensing pump?

Yes. The PP-X-1100 can be used for dispensing and filling when paired with the optional FK-1C dispensing controller. The controller supports dispensing time, pause time, intermittent operation, and count-based cycles. Dispensed volume should be calibrated with the actual tubing, liquid, speed, and system back pressure.

Does the PP-X-1100 include external control?

The pump is designed to support external control when equipped with the appropriate optional interface. Available control modes include external start/stop, direction control, and speed control through analog voltage, 4 to 20 mA, pulse input, or RS-485 communication interface depending on the selected accessory.

What tubing materials can be used with this peristaltic pump?

Compatible tubing materials depend on the pump head, tubing size, and liquid being pumped. Available tubing categories include silicone, Pharmed, Norprene, Tygon, Viton, Fluran, and other materials. Always confirm chemical compatibility, temperature suitability, pressure conditions, and tubing life for the specific fluid before use.

Is the pumped fluid isolated from the pump mechanism?

Yes. In peristaltic pumping, the liquid travels through the tubing rather than through the pump drive or pump head. This makes tubing selection the key compatibility decision and helps simplify fluid changeover and cleanup when tubing is replaced appropriately.

Is the PP-X-1100 suitable for aggressive solvents?

The pump drive and pump head surfaces are not intended to be exposed to organic solvents or aggressive liquids. The pumped fluid should remain inside compatible tubing. Use secondary containment, inspect tubing frequently, and confirm tubing compatibility before pumping chemicals.

Are YZ11xx pump heads available for the PP-X-1100?

No. YZ11xx pump-head options are discontinued. This Labgear USA page offers the current PP-X-1100 configurations with YZ1515X and YZ2515X pump heads.

Warranty

The MRC PP-X-1100 is supplied with a one-year manufacturer warranty against qualifying defects in materials or workmanship. Warranty coverage does not apply to misuse, abuse, improper installation, tubing wear, damage from incompatible fluids, or exposure of the pump drive or pump head to unsuitable chemicals. For support, contact Labgear USA with the model number, SKU, serial number if available, application details, tubing type, fluid being pumped, and a description of the issue.
