Syringe Pumps
Syringe pumps (also known as syringe drivers) carefully control fluid delivery during experiments. Single channel syringe pumps can move one syringe at a time, while dual syringe pumps control two in tandem. With them, you can control the dispense rates of solutions with a degree of accuracy, repeatability and precision that would be impossible to obtain by hand.
Some benefits of using our laboratory syringe pumps include:
- High levels of control in both infusion and withdrawal modes at a wide range of flow rates.
- Easily programmable and can save up to 10 programmes of up to 100 steps. This will allow you to perform complex routines and experiments.
- Low price but high quality. A precise stepper motor with microstepping technology provides an excellent degree of accuracy and reduces any flow rate fluctuations.
Two models of syringe pump are available: the Ossila Single Syringe Pump and the Ossila Dual Syringe Pump. In addition, if you want use your syringe pump to standardize your thin film coating processes, our spin coating kit offers excellent value. We also sell multiple syringe pump accessories, all of which are available to buy worldwide either online or via our customer support team.

Key Features
There are a wide variety of syringe pumps available on the market. Understanding the key features is critical in making the right choice for your experiment.
Compatible with Wide Range of Syringes
A syringe pump is only as good as the syringes that you can use with it. Our syringe pumps are compatible with many of the leading brands of syringe, but we recommend using Norm-Ject disposable Luer Lock syringes.
Channel Independence
Many syringe pumps only have a single motor to move all the syringes. This means that when one syringe dispenses, all syringes dispense. If you want to use multiple syringes with different pump rates, channel independence (available with our dual pump model) is critical.
Withdrawal and Infusion: Push/pull Syringe Pumps
Our systems clamp the syringe plunger, so that when the motor moves backwards, it can drag the plunger backwards too. This means you can use both of our syringe pumps in withdrawal or infusion mode.
Flow Rate Range
The Ossila syringe pumps have a wide range of adjustable dispense/withdrawal rates so you can choose the speed to suit your syringe and desired flow rate.
Pump Force
In the context of a syringe pump, there is a maximum lateral force that the motor can exert on the syringe plunger. Larger motors tend to be able to produce a higher force. This will allow you to move high viscosity liquids or use smaller diameter pipes.
As an additional safety measure, our single syringe pump and dual syringe pump offer force control so that you can set a maximum allowed force. This is particularly useful when you need to protect delicate syringes such as those made from glass or plastic.

Buying Guides
At Ossila, there are two available syringe pumps; the single syringe pump and the dual syringe pump. Both are programmable, accurate and have a wide range of flow rates.
Read more...Syringe pumps have become a critical tool in a wide variety of research fields, ranging from chemical analysis to drug development. However, the need for even greater precision and accuracy has resulted in the implementation of advanced controller technology.
Read more...The flow rate for a syringe pump refers to the rate at which a fluid is dispensed or withdrawn from a syringe using a syringe pump. Flow rate is controlled by the syringe pump and can be adjusted based on the requirements of the experiment or application.
Read more...Fluctuations in laboratory syringe pumps can refer to variations or inconsistencies in the flow rate or volume delivery of the pump. Ossila syringe pumps minimize fluctuations by using microstep technology and high precision motors.

With no external dependencies, the Ossila Syringe Pump is quick and easy to set up and use.
Read more...When auto dispensing solvents, droplets are sometimes dispensed after the syringe pump has stopped. The cause of solution dripping can be due to several factors.
Read more...Theory and Applications
Syringe pumps, or syringe drivers, are motorised devices that accurately control the movement of a fluid from a syringe by mechanically inserting or retracting the plunger. Syringe pumps feature stepper motors which can accurately move a platform attached to the plunger of a syringe.
Read more...Syringe pumps are electromechanical devices which are designed to convert rotational motion to linear motion. This linear motion can then be used to drive the plunger of a syringe and deliver a precise amount of solution.
Read more...Syringe pumps provide precise control over the movement and delivery of fluids and can be incorporated into a wide range of experimental setups to ensure that any work done is reproducible and accurate.
