DIY your own Electro-spinning device
Open source electrospinning equipment Want to build your own Electro-spinning device? Take a look at Assistant Professor Eric Lima's page for plans and videos. Note pump used is a Braintree Scientific which is compatible with SyringePumpPro. If you do try this - take care with the high voltages - pumps, computers and people [...]
Benzene Formation In Electronic Cigarettes
Found a new paper today - caught my eye because I have several customers who are electronic cigarette (“e-cigarettes”) manufacturers. Syringe pumps are an ideal way for manufacturers to fill the vaping cigarette devices. They will create multi-pump programmes and and then use the SyringePumpPro multi-pump recipie method of loading their pumps with the correct [...]

Electro-spinning – High Voltage Protection
The above diagram shows a layout for electro-spinning or electro-spraying. More details about the pump to PC interface cables. Whilst I talk about electro-spinning in this post, my comments apply to electro-spraying too. Taylor cone - Wikipedia Electro-spinners use a very high voltage up to 50kV (at a low current) to attract a [...]
Electrospinning – take care!
This week, there's a sad story from a SyringePumpPro owner. He blew up his pump and computer - his high voltage setup wasn't best practice. What's Electro-spinning? Electro-spinning is a fascinating technology which I have personally had no experience with. It's all about nano-fibres and such - amazing technology. A syringe pump is used [...]
Book Mention
Biomedical Applications of Electrospinning and Electrospraying This publication mentions SyringePumpPro as an example of the software that can be used to control syringe infusion pumps in Electrospinning and Electrospraying. SyringePumpPro has been used by a number of manufacturers of these devices and is sold all over the world.
Make your own pump cables CBL-PC and CBL-NET
Can you make your own pump cables? YES! – you can and this page contains the instructions on how to do it. To most people reading this page I’d like to say – don’t make your own cables. Read the section below - Why not just buy them? This page contains instructions and [...]
Multiple Pumps – Synchronization
Good/Bad - Um? Depends what your looking for. I'd prefer simple sync and complex sync. The master ppl file setup - I love. Each pump's code is a separate file - that's great programming technique. Makes it easy to test each ppl file separately. Multiple pump file sets Syncing - Simple syncing is [...]
