"For decades, Masterflex has been synonymous with precision and reliability in peristaltic pumps used in fluid handling," said Benoit Gourdier, Executive Vice President, Bioscience & Medtech Products, Avantor. "Unifying our portfolio under the Masterflex name makes it easier for customers to tailor solutions, for their specific processes and molecules, within a consistent framework, supporting smoother transition from development to production."
Designed for secure fluid transfer and reliable connections, Masterflex solutions support consistent performance as processes scale. The portfolio continues to advance bioprocessing applications, with PROFINET-enabled connectivity that supports interoperability between Masterflex peristaltic pumps and process control systems.
