SAFETY COVER

Operating Conditions

Access to the rear panel is necessary because the instrument must be

detached from all voltage sources before service, repair, or exchange

of parts. Allow a minimum of 2.54 cm (1in.) space behind the

instrument for proper fan operation.

Operate the instrument using the approved power supply provided

and only at the voltage specified on the rear panel label of the

instrument.

Solvents

Observe safe laboratory practices when handling solvents. If

dangerous liquids are used, adequate protection such as proper

ventilation, safety glasses, etc., should be used. Refer to the Material

Safety Data Sheets for the solvents before use.

Chapter 1

CHAPTER 1 | INTRODUCTION

Gilson’s MINIPULS® 3 Peristaltic Pump was specifically designed

to meet process laboratory liquid handling needs. The MINIPULS 3

combines microprocessor speed control with a high-torque stepper

motor. Chemical-resistant pump heads, equipped with five or ten

stainless steel rollers, set the performance standard in producing

smooth, low-pulse flow and reproducible flow rates at higher

pressures.

This user’s guide describes how to set up and operate a MINIPULS 3.

It also describes some of the methodology required to obtain

accurate reproducible results.

UNPACKING | MINIPULS® 3 PERISTALTIC PUMP

UNPACKING

Description

Gilson’s MINIPULS 3 is a peristaltic pump, designed for transferring

fluids with a high level of speed stability and a low pulsation level. It

has many applications, including the following:

• transferring solutions, emulsions, suspensions, and gases at up

to 200°C.

• pumping liquids through chromatographic systems against a

back pressure of up to 0.5 MPa (72.5 psi) when controlled by a

Gilson fraction collector, for example.

• automation of biological analyses by proportionally mixing a

sample with several reagents (flowinjection analysis).

• continuously sampling the components of a production process

(reactors, fermenters, etc.).

• formation of gradients (concentration, pH, etc.).

Control of the MINIPULS 3 is from a computer via GSIOC and Gilson

TRILUTION® LH software, remote control by contact closure, or

manual control by front panel operation.
