Advantages:
the adjustable occlusion lever allows an
individual
pressure setting for each channel
due to the various tube sizes, wall thicknesses
and
materials available, an optimally adjusted
occlusion
lever may offer advantages in
comparison
to the Click'n'go cassette
for certain operating conditions, such as
varying
and/or elevated differential pressure
conditions,
this type of cassette may have
advantages
over the Click'n'go cassette
preferably used for very hard tubing material,
e.g.
Tygon MH 2075
Limitations:
the pressure lever must be individually
set
on
each channel
for constant flow-rates it may be necessary
to
readjust the pressure setting at regular
intervals
the occlusion can be over-tightened
if the
lever
is incorrectly set
an over-tightened tube pressure shortens
the
service-life
of the tubing
the pressure lever should NOT be used
for
flow-rate
adjustments. Such a "calibration" can
be
instable and result in a shorter tubing life.
