USE OF THE ZENITH GEAR PUMP IN CONTINUOUS CULTURE SYSTEM

Abstract

The use of the Zenith Gear Pump to feed small volumes of media in continuous microbiological culture work is described. This positive displacement pump can be operated over a wide range of flow rates without the pulsating flow that occurs with peristaltic pumps, and with greater accuracy than either peristaltic or gravity-flow feeding systems. With minor modifications and special sterilizing procedures, continuous runs up to forty-four days have been achieved.
