Watson-Marlow to showcase scalable peristaltic pump range and single use assemblies at BioProcess International Europe 2026

BioProcess International Europe | Vienna, Austria | 27 to 30 April 2026

Watson-Marlow Fluid Technology Solutions (WMFTS) will highlight its scalable peristaltic cased pump range and single use assemblies at BioProcess International Europe 2026 in Vienna, Austria. The company will present advanced fluid path components designed to support upstream and downstream bioprocessing as well as final fill and finish applications.

Visitors to stand 700 can explore how WMFTS technologies can help accelerate regulatory compliance while improving operational efficiency and product quality across biopharmaceutical manufacturing processes.

Based in Falmouth, UK, WMFTS is recognised for its expertise in peristaltic pumps and fluid path technologies. At this year’s event, the company will demonstrate how its flexible and scalable fluid management solutions can address the evolving demands of the life sciences sector.

WMFTS fluid path technologies are engineered to deliver consistent flow accuracy while maintaining process stability and supporting good manufacturing practice compliance. These capabilities are essential for safeguarding final product quality in highly regulated pharmaceutical and biotechnology environments.

The WMFTS team will be available throughout the exhibition to discuss specific bioprocessing challenges and outline how its solutions can be tailored to meet individual production requirements. From early stage upstream processing through to downstream purification and final fill and finish, the company’s technologies are designed to provide reliable and contamination free fluid transfer.

Advanced peristaltic pump technology for bioprocessing

Among the technologies on display, Watson-Marlow peristaltic cased pumps are designed to deliver flow accuracy of up to +/-0.5%, helping to ensure process consistency and repeatability. Their closed fluid path design provides complete isolation from potential sources of contamination during transfer, filling and filtration operations.

These compact and digitally controllable pumps are engineered for ease of use and low maintenance, making them well suited to demanding cleanroom environments. With minimal pulsation and low shear pumping characteristics, they are particularly effective in protecting sensitive cell cultures and maintaining product integrity throughout the process.

Single use assemblies for flexible manufacturing

WMArchitect™ single use solutions will also be a key focus at the event. Designed to support both standard and customised configurations, these assemblies are supplied ready to use and backed by comprehensive validation packages.

By simplifying fluid path design and integration, WMArchitect helps manufacturers streamline processes, reduce the burden of regulatory compliance and improve overall operational efficiency. The approach also supports end to end single use fluid management, offering flexibility for both small scale development and large scale commercial production.

High performance tubing for scalable processes

Watson-Marlow Tubing, manufactured in ISO 14644-1 Class 7 cleanrooms, will also be featured. Each product undergoes rigorous testing to ensure consistent performance in critical applications.

Available in internal diameters ranging from 0.5 mm up to 25.4 mm, the tubing range supports precise control of low flow rates while also accommodating higher volume requirements as processes scale. This versatility is particularly valuable in bioprocessing environments where production demands can change rapidly.

Chris Palmer, WMFTS said: “Bioprocessing presents unique challenges throughout upstream, downstream and fill/finish. The demands of novel therapies require high precision fluid path components to protect product integrity, meet sterility requirements and ensure regulatory compliance. Watson-Marlow peristaltic pumps and fluid path components are designed specifically for biopharma applications, and our dedicated team collaborates with clients to customise solutions that will meet their specific needs. Stop by our booth to learn more about our comprehensive portfolio of products supported by in-depth industry expertise.”

Supporting compliance and performance in biopharma

As regulatory expectations continue to evolve across the UK and wider European life sciences sector, manufacturers are under increasing pressure to adopt technologies that enhance traceability, sterility assurance and process reliability. WMFTS solutions are developed with these priorities in mind, helping organisations meet stringent compliance standards while maintaining high levels of productivity.

By combining peristaltic pump technology with validated single use assemblies and high quality tubing, WMFTS provides an integrated approach to fluid management that supports the full bioprocess lifecycle.

Visitors attending BioProcess International Europe 2026 are encouraged to visit stand 700 to discuss their specific fluid management requirements and discover how Watson-Marlow can support the design and optimisation of bioprocessing systems.

About us

Watson-Marlow Fluid Technology Group (WMFTG) peristaltic tube and hose pumps meet requirements including: value for money; low cost of ownership; reliability and ease of maintenance to the food and beverage, chemical, pharmaceutical, mining and many other industries.

We demonstrate how pumps deliver significant process efficiencies over the lifetime of the equipment. Whether performing flavouring addition in food processing, chemical metering in water treatment or mineral recovery, we have a solution which can cut pump downtime and reduce costs through higher accuracy metering and transfer. WMFTG has dedicated application engineers available to help customers make the right pump and tubing choice from a range providing microlitres per minute to 80 cubic metres per hour flow rates.

The only part of the pump to come into contact with the product is the tube or hose. This means there are no seals or valves that can wear or fail. Replacing the tube or hose can be performed quickly and safely. Peristaltic pump benefits include:

Total fluid containment with no seals No ancillaries Handle viscous and abrasive slurries and sludge Self-priming capability Dry running without damage to the pump In addition to their range of positive displacement pumps, Watson-Marlow Fluid Technology Group has added PTFE-lined chemical and industrial hoses to their range. Aflex hoses are reinforced to withstand the most severe conditions and use.
