Owings Mills, MD - July 25, 2025 - Stellar Scientific, a leading provider of laboratory equipment and supplies for life science research, today announced US distribution of Microlit's revolutionary WiFi-enabled peristaltic pumps—the industry's first wireless-controlled fluid handling systems. These breakthrough pumps directly address the $2.8 billion annual cost of laboratory contamination incidents while eliminating safety risks associated with manual pump operation in hazardous environments.
Game-Changing Technology Solves Costly Contamination Problem
A single contamination event in cell culture research can cost laboratories between $10,000-$50,000 in lost time, materials, and delayed research timelines. Laboratory contamination incidents represent a significant operational challenge, with environmental breaches during equipment operation being a contributing factor in many cases.
The WiFi-enabled pump technology addresses this challenge by eliminating the need to open controlled environments for routine pump adjustments, maintaining experimental integrity throughout critical research phases.
Four Key Application Areas Transform Laboratory Operations
Cell Culture in CO₂ Incubators: Protecting Million-Dollar Research Programs Pharmaceutical companies conducting drug discovery research can now maintain critical 37°C, 5% CO₂ environments without the temperature fluctuations that occur when opening incubator doors. A single temperature spike can destroy cell lines worth $100,000+ in development costs.
Anaerobic Research: Maintaining Zero-Oxygen Environments In microbiome and anaerobic bacterial research, even brief oxygen exposure can terminate experiments lasting months. Remote pump control ensures researchers never compromise the oxygen-free conditions essential for studying gut bacteria, biogas production, and anaerobic metabolism.
Biosafety Level 2-4 Operations: Protecting Human Health When handling infectious agents, carcinogens, or toxic compounds, wireless pump control minimizes researcher exposure. This capability is critical for COVID-19 research, cancer drug development, and environmental toxicology studies where direct equipment interaction poses significant health risks.
24/7 Continuous Experiments: Enabling Round-the-Clock Research Long-term studies in regenerative medicine, drug pharmacokinetics, and tissue engineering require uninterrupted fluid delivery. Remote monitoring allows researchers to adjust parameters during overnight experiments without laboratory visits, accelerating research timelines by up to 40%.
WiFi Technology Transforms Laboratory Workflow Efficiency
The wireless control capability represents a significant advancement in laboratory automation, enabling researchers to maintain optimal experimental conditions while adjusting fluid handling parameters. This technology eliminates common workflow disruptions and supports more sophisticated experimental designs.
"We specifically sought out Microlit because they've included the wireless control technology into their instruments," said Lee Lowenstein, CEO of Stellar Scientific. "Our role is connecting innovative laboratory solutions with researchers who need them most. These WiFi-enabled pumps represent exactly the kind of breakthrough technology that transforms how science gets done."
Key breakthrough features include:
-
Industry-first WiFi connectivity with secure 256-bit encryption
-
Real-time flow monitoring with 0.1% accuracy precision
-
Smartphone/tablet control via intuitive mobile application
-
Integration ready for LIMS and building management systems
-
Multi-pump synchronization for complex perfusion protocols
-
Automated alerts for flow anomalies and maintenance requirements
Addressing Laboratory Automation Market Demand
Research from MarketsandMarkets indicates the global laboratory automation market will reach $8.4 billion by 2027, with fluid handling representing a rapidly growing segment. The WiFi-enabled pumps address current technology gaps in wireless laboratory equipment control.
"Major pharmaceutical companies have been requesting this capability for years," noted Mark Hulsebosch, National Sales Manager for Microlit USA. "The integration with existing laboratory infrastructure makes this a plug-and-play solution that immediately enhances operational efficiency.
Hulsebosh added, “Stellar Scientific's deep understanding of laboratory workflows makes them the ideal partner to introduce this technology to the US market."
