Description
Multi-channel pump head C 8 is a laboratory pump head engineered for multi-channel fluid handling in research and process environments. It can be fitted with eight medium cassettes or four large cassettes, giving users flexible capacity for parallel liquid transfer and dosing tasks. The head is built around a four-roller system that promotes smooth, consistent peristaltic action across all active channels. Net weight is 1,340 kg and gross weight 1,800 kg, reflecting a solid mechanical construction suitable for continuous laboratory use. Offered by manufacturer Heidolph, this pump head integrates readily into compatible multi-channel pumping setups where simultaneous handling of several fluid lines is required. Cassette-based loading simplifies configuration changes between medium and large formats, supporting efficient workflow adaptation. The C 8 design is intended for applications that demand reliable multi-line transfer, sample distribution or reagent delivery without the need for multiple single-channel heads, helping laboratories maintain compact, organised pumping arrangements.

Questions about Multi-channel Pump Head C 8
What is this article?
Multi-channel Pump Head C 8 is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Heidolph for laboratory use. It sits in Multichannel pipettes, inside Liquid handling, in Lab instruments.
A multichannel pipette delivers the same volume into several wells at once, usually 8 or 12, so a plate can be filled a row at a time. The channels have to sit on the plate pitch. A channel that does not seal on its tip delivers a different volume, quietly.
A piston pipette delivers a set volume of liquid by air displacement or, for viscous and volatile liquids, by positive displacement. A single channel is the ordinary tool. A multichannel repeats the same volume across a row of a plate. A bottle-top dispenser meters reagent from the bottle it sits on. The accuracy is a property of the pipette and of how it is used, which is why calibration and a certificate exist. Piston-operated apparatus is treated under ISO laboratory apparatus. The volume unit sits with the BIPM and NIST.
