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.
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 [...]
TERMIS-AM is an annual meeting held in America each year, that brings together researchers, trainees, administrators from academia, government, and industry to discuss developments in the Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine field. It's a great venue for innovation and ideas in the fields of tissue engineering, biomaterials, stem cells, and regenerative medicine. Spraybase has a [...]
Spraybase® is the world’s first integrated, fully customizable benchtop instrument that allows researchers to perform electrospinning and electrospraying with a diverse range of polymers, proteins, biologics and more. Thier products are designed for unparalleled ease of use, safety, reproducibility and flexibility. Electrospraying, which produces nanoparticles and electrospinning, which produces nanofibers, are among the most promising new [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
