These pumps are designed to meet stringent sanitary standards, ensuring that the transfer process is free from contamination and that the blood components are preserved in their natural state. The positive displacement mechanism allows for accurate and consistent flow rates, minimizing shear stress and preventing damage to delicate blood cells and proteins. Furthermore, these pumps are easy to clean and sterilize, reducing the risk of cross-contamination and ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements. This makes them an ideal choice for applications in the medical and pharmaceutical industries where maintaining the purity and functionality of blood products is paramount.
