3.14.2 Mode of operation for the peristaltic pump
The peristaltic pump is used for pumping sample and auxiliary solutions. It
can rotate in both directions.
The peristaltic pump pumps liquids based on the principle of displace-
ment. The pump tubing is clamped between the rollers (14-5) and the
tubing cartridge (14-2). During operation, the peristaltic pump drive
rotates the roller hub (14-6), so that the rollers (14-5) advance the liquid
in the pump tubing.
