And I replied:

For more details on operation principle, max flowrates, max pressures on
peristaltic pumps (the ones that are using rollers combined with silicone
or other tubing) visit thye following site: www.masterflex.com

My small business is the maintenance and repair of various medical
equipment and I can assure you that no liquid is flowingback!
