Paper: Bio-material Gradients
Shout out to Greeshma Mohan a recent SyringePumpPro owner who has published a paper titled Silicone Elastomer-Based Combinatorial Biomaterial Gradients for High Throughput Screening of Cell-Substrate Interactions. Greeshma is currently working at the University of South Florida. Pictured here are two New Era Syringe pumps working with a Harvard Apparatus syringe pump in support of [...]
Paper: PCL Scaffolds Manufacture
I am always excited to see a mention of SyringePumpPro! This time I confess I might be a little more excited because it's the first scientific paper mention of SyringePumpPro and Spraybase equipment. SyringePumpPro has had an association with Spraybase for a few years now, and it's been wonderful working with the team. I [...]
Start Programming Your Pump
In the beginning, manually programming your pump and getting started writing pump programs is a challenge! The initial learning curve is high. So much to learn. There's plenty to learn about the programming language and how the pump operates. You just want to start getting results - now! I can help you! Pump [...]

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 [...]

Automated Perifusion System
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 [...]
How To Specify Your Flow
drawing board Before you can start programming your pump, you need to understand the flow you require in detail. For a simple single rate and volume flow you hardly need to spend much time on this. But for wave form flows or flows involving interaction with the real world (triggers) you really need [...]
