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 [...]
Kent Scientific Genie Every now and then I get asked whether SyringePumpPro supports the Kent Scientific Genie pump. The answer is no. Controlling the pump, to the best of my knowledge, currently has to be done with LabVIEW or Matlab. Both brilliant tools and both with huge costs/learning curves. Anyone got any sample [...]

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 [...]
This interesting question is asked every now and then - How does SyringePumpPro report rates and volumes for the multi-channel pumps? or Why does SyringePumpPro only report rates and volumes for a single channel? There are a number of multi-channel or multi-syringe pumps available from the manufacturers that SyringePumpPro supports. Currently SyringePumpPro treats them as [...]
Had a couple of reports about an issue with the PPL Creator spreadsheet. It looks like under Microsoft Office 2010 the spreadsheet inserts a line in each phase - #N/A When you upload the ppl to the pump using SyringePumpPro, every line of your ppl file is reported as an error. Work around - Use [...]
Continuous Infusion Syringe Pump System If one of your pumps is configured to be the master pump in a Special Application:Continuous Infusion/Dual Syringe Pump System it wont communicate with SyringePumpPro. This is because the master pump takes control of the serial connection to the slave pump via a special synchronization cable CBL-DUAL-3. This [...]
Just released today SyringePumpPro Peristaltic Precision update to support the release last week of New Era Pump Systems updated NE9000. The new Green head offers slower and finer flows and is now supported by SyringePumpPro. This is a free update for all owners of SyringePumpPro. Try users may install this update and receive a further [...]
Changing settings on running pumps doesn’t work Occasionally I get a report like this: I cannot change any of the settings on the pump. I go to the quick change area and change one of the fields and click on the button, everything reverts to the default. The pump works, I can make it start, [...]
Software for your Harvard Syringe Pump SyringePumpPro doesn't currently support the Harvard programmable pumps range of products. I do have several examples on hand as I plan to include support for them in the future. If you would like to see Harvard pumps supported by SyringePumpPro, contact me. The more requests for support I get [...]
