Watson-Marlow Fluid Technology Solutions will present its precision-engineered peristaltic pumps and advanced fluid path technologies at Making Pharmaceuticals, taking place in Coventry, UK, on 21-22 April 2026.
The event provides a key platform for pharmaceutical manufacturing professionals to explore the latest innovations in upstream processing, downstream processing and fill finish applications. Visitors to stand 324 will have the opportunity to discuss specific fluid management challenges and discover how Watson-Marlow Fluid Technology Solutions supports process efficiency, compliance and product integrity.
Watson-Marlow Fluid Technology Solutions, a recognised leader in peristaltic pump technology and fluid path solutions, will showcase a comprehensive portfolio designed specifically for pharmaceutical and biotechnology applications.
At Making Pharmaceuticals 2026, the company will demonstrate how its technologies enable highly accurate fluid transfer, helping manufacturers maintain consistent flow rates, meet good manufacturing practice requirements and improve overall process stability.
The exhibition will highlight how precision fluid handling plays a critical role in ensuring product quality, particularly in sensitive biopharmaceutical processes where contamination risks and product degradation must be carefully controlled.
Visitors to the Watson-Marlow stand will be able to explore a wide range of solutions designed to optimise pharmaceutical manufacturing processes.
The Watson-Marlow 530 series peristaltic pumps deliver accuracy of up to +/-0.5% to guarantee process stability and product quality. Their extremely low shear pump action allows biopharmaceutical companies to transfer fluids without causing degradation or damage to sensitive materials. Suitable for applications ranging from laboratory research to full scale production, these pumps offer flow rates from 0.004 ml/min to 3.5 L/min and pressures up to 7 bar, making them highly versatile across multiple process stages.
The Watson-Marlow 323 peristaltic dispensing pump is designed for ease of use and operational reliability. Its single-use flow path eliminates the risk of carryover, as the process fluid comes into contact only with the bore of the tubing. This design prevents contamination of both the fluid and the pump, while delivering precise and consistent flow rates with low shear pumping to protect delicate biological materials.
WMArchitect single-use solutions provide both standard ready-to-use assemblies and fully customised designs supported by tailored validation packages. These systems are developed to streamline manufacturing processes, safeguard product quality, reduce regulatory burden and address the complexities of end-to-end single-use fluid path management in pharmaceutical environments.
High-purity Aflex hoses, lined with polytetrafluoroethylene PTFE, offer excellent kink resistance and durability for biopharmaceutical applications. Their smooth bore construction ensures clean and efficient fluid transfer, while their resistance to high pressures and temperatures up to 260C supports demanding process conditions.
DriveSure is a complete peristaltic panel mount pump solution developed for original equipment manufacturers. Its cool, quiet and compact design combined with precise performance makes it suitable for laboratories, cleanrooms and industrial process environments. As an integrated panel mount solution, DriveSure enables OEMs to reduce time to market and achieve a competitive advantage.
The Flexicon PF7+ peristaltic filling system is designed with a unique architecture and supported by recommended filling parameters and Accusil silicone tubing. It is particularly suited to pharmaceutical, diagnostics and biotechnology applications, especially when handling shear sensitive liquids where maintaining product integrity is critical.
The FlexFeed 30 is a tabletop bottle handling and capping machine that delivers consistent cap torque for small batch production. It enables manufacturers to achieve a level of repeatability and quality that is not possible with manual filling and capping processes, supporting efficient and flexible production workflows.
Tim McAllister, WMFTS said:
“Pharmaceutical processing requires high precision fluid path components to meet sterility requirements, protect product integrity and ensure regulatory compliance. Our peristaltic pumps and fluid path components are ideal for upstream, downstream and fill/finish applications, and our dedicated team works with clients to customise solutions to meet their specific application requirements.
“We look forward to showcasing our latest innovations and demonstrating their application across this fast-moving industry. Stop by our booth to understand more about our collaborative approach to developing the next generation of solutions alongside our customers.”
These technologies are designed to support manufacturers in meeting increasingly stringent regulatory requirements while maintaining operational efficiency. By combining precision engineering with single-use solutions, Watson-Marlow helps reduce contamination risks and improve validation processes across pharmaceutical production.
Watson-Marlow Fluid Technology Solutions offers a comprehensive portfolio backed by deep industry expertise, enabling the design and implementation of optimised fluid management systems for pharmaceutical processing.
Visitors to Making Pharmaceuticals 2026 are encouraged to visit stand 324 to discuss their specific application requirements and explore how tailored fluid path solutions can support reliable and compliant production of specialised pharmaceutical products.
