Do you need to monitor the pressure in the syringe? Do you need to regulate the pressure? I am currently considering adding pressure monitoring and regulation to SyringePumpPro. I would be delighted to hear about your application's requirements. This would be achieved through the use of a load cell. I have already had interest from [...]

Spraybase Model Changes If you are into electro -spraying or electro-spinning - there's good news this month! Spraybase have recently updated their product line. SyringePumpPro is the software used to control the pumps used in their starter, coaxial and combination spinning and spraying kits. Read more about Spraybase here. [...]
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 [...]
Kent Genie Touch Screen Commercial laboratory pumps cost quite a lot - I know I have had to buy several for testing SyringePumpPro. I think there are about 12 pumps here. Your opinion on whether they cost too much is probably strongly determined by: your pumping requirements - a very simple on/off or [...]
Above photo from Open Syringe Pump If you build your own syringe pump - can SyringePumpPro control it? To command pumps, SyringePumpPro sends ASCII commands over an RS232 connection to the controller inside laboratory and OEM pumps. For example, to get the pump to infuse 750mls per hour the command sent to the pump would be [...]
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 [...]

Software for your Chemyx Syringe Pump SyringePumpPro doesn't currently support the Chemyx programmable pumps. I have a few example Chemyx pumps here and hope to add support for them in the near future. If you would like to see Chemyx support by Syringe Pump Pro, contact me. The more requests I get the higher priority [...]
Congratulations and a shout to Prof Savas Kaya et al on the release of their new paper: An Automated Perifusion System for Modifying Cell Culture Conditions over Time In their work they used two syringe infusion pumps to deliver complex patterns of media/nutrients over time to cell cultures. The automated syringe [...]
