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 [...]
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. [...]
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 [...]
SyringePumpPro will be at the 2016 World Biomatierals Congress in Montreal later this month! Sadly I personally won't be attending, but Ellen and the Spraybase Team will be there demonstrating their wonderful electro-spraying and electro-spinning equipment, which uses SyringePumpPro to control the infusion pumps they use. See Spraybase (and my SyringePumpPro) at booth 1313. [...]
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 [...]
