A peristaltic pump is a type of positive displacement pump that moves fluid through a flexible tube using a rotating mechanism that compresses and releases the tube in a peristaltic motion. This creates a seal along the tube, ensuring a controlled, unidirectional flow of liquid or gas without contamination.
