Laboratory pumps, often referred to as lab pumps, are devices used for fluid transfer and metering in a laboratory setting. They are designed to precisely control the fluid flow rates in many applications such as chromatography, sample preparation, and reagent dispensing. Here are some types of lab pumps:

Peristaltic Pumps:
These pumps are used to pump a variety of fluids. The fluid is contained within a flexible tube fitted inside a circular pump casing.

Positive Displacement Pumps:
These pumps move fluid by repeatedly enclosing a fixed volume, with the aid of seals or gates, and moving it mechanically through the system.

Metering Pumps:
These are high-precision pumps for dosing agents.

Centrifugal Pumps:
These pumps use a rotating impeller to increase the pressure of a fluid.

Syringe Pumps:
These pumps are used for precise dispensing of fluids.

Piston Pumps:
These pumps use a mechanism with a piston cylinder to move fluids.

Diaphragm Pumps:
These pumps use a combination of the reciprocating action of a rubber or thermoplastic diaphragm and suitable non-return check valves to pump a fluid.

These pumps are essential tools in any healthcare setting, from hospitals to private practices. They allow you to control the flow of fluids precisely and ensure accurate dosing and delivery of medications, nutrients, and other solutions. They are also essential for transferring liquids, gases, or other substances in a controlled manual or automated manner.
