Abstract:
A peristaltic pump for pumping a fluid includes a flexible tube and a roller. The flexible tube has inner and outer tubular opposed walls. The inner wall defines a through passage to receive the fluid. The roller has an outer contact surface. The peristaltic pump is configured to compress the flexible tube with the contact surface of the roller to thereby force the fluid through the through passage. At least the contact surface of the roller is formed of borosilicate glass.

Claim (Index 16):
The method of  claim 15  wherein:\n the peristaltic pump includes a roller carrier; \n the plurality of rollers are each rotatably mounted on the roller carrier; and \n pumping the fluid through the flexible tube using the peristaltic pump includes rotating the roller carrier about a central axis such that the plurality of rollers orbit the central axis and sequentially compress the tube when the roller carrier is rotated about the central axis.
