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 (flowinjection 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.
