Smart, Precise Peristaltic and Syringe Pump Solutions

The greatest benefit of laboratory syringe pumps (also known as syringe drivers), is that they can be used in nearly every application that involves infusion of specific fluid amounts at a consistent rate. Particularly in the microscale and the nanoscale. These intricate devices are prominently utilized in many chemical and biomedical research areas.

Electrospinning and electrospraying are common applications where syringe pumps deliver chemical solutions into a high-voltage setup. These processes, in turn, make it possible to synthesize nanofibers and nanoparticles. In most electrospinning laboratory configurations, the syringe pump is carefully installed to feed the sample solution through an insulating tube. As the polymer solution moves through the tube, it is extruded toward the collector. Moreover, when the solution exits the orifice of a charged needle, the applied high-voltage DC power supply drives it forward, ensuring precise deposition on the collector.

General Chemistry experiments require dispensing chemical solutions in strict amounts. Laboratories utilize efficient syringe pumps for various experiments. In standard experimental trials, a parameter like flow-rate bears importance. Which is why chemists use varying ranges of solution feeding rate.

Chromatography is a widely used laboratory technique for separating liquid mixtures into their individual components. In particular, liquid chromatography (LC) relies on a robust pump system to infuse solutions with consistency and precision. Furthermore, such a device plays a critical role in minimizing errors in both microanalysis and instrumental analytics. Prime examples of its application include mass spectrometry (MS), high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS).

Mass spectrometry plays a vital role in analytical chemistry, helping scientists determine the composition of unknown samples. During the process, materials of interest undergo ionization and break down into fragments. As a result, the fragments reveal the elements that form the original samples. Because mass spectrometry is such a complex technique, the sample volume must be delivered with the highest precision and accuracy. Therefore, laboratory syringe pumps play a critical role in carefully handling liquid samples. Since these pumps provide consistent and steady flow, they become indispensable instruments for direct-infusion mass spectrometry.

Beyond mass spectrometry, syringe pumps are also well-suited for microfluidic applications, where they support research in areas such as micro-environmental control. In addition, they enable accurate infusion in biomedical research, whether for feeding small animals or delivering small doses to specific locations. Furthermore, laboratory syringe pumps significantly accelerate research workflows while reducing inaccuracies in fluid delivery across a wide range of advanced scientific fields.

Micro-dialysis techniques rely on syringe pumps to deliver a minute flow of solution for monitoring biochemical molecule concentrations. Their primary use appears in pre-clinical animal cell analysis as well as in environmental research, particularly for soil flux sampling. Moreover, such pumps serve as a valid alternative in veterinary medicine, since they have proven highly effective in supporting research involving animal models. In addition, laboratory syringe pumps make it possible to administer fluids or blood products to very small animals with precision. Traditional methods, by contrast, often carry the risk of overdosing smaller animals, which highlights the importance of syringe pumps in this field.
