Application Notes

Posts about pumping applications. How to interface pumps with microscopes, and other devices. Tips on how to work with pumps in the area containing a MRI machine would be a fine example of an article here.

Viscosity definition

Viscosity is a measure of the thickness or resistance to flow of a liquid or a fluid. It is a dimensionless quantity that is defined as the ratio of shear stress to shear rate, or the force required to move one layer of a fluid past another layer, divided by the rate at which [...]

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 [...]
