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 channel 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.

Our syringe pumps can easily integrated with other pieces of equipment. The Ossila Slot Die Coater uses a single syringe pump to supply a precisely control the rate of flow of the solution to the slot die head.

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.

Single or Double Syringe Pump

---

Whether you need a double or single syringe pump depends largely on the experiment you are doing.

	Single Syringe Pump	Dual Syringe Pump
Benefits	Easy to operate Good for simple depostions and reactions Saves space and cost compared to multiple syringe pumps Lower cost compared to multi-channel systems	More versatile Two solutions can be handled independently Saves space and cost compared to multiple syringe pumps Able conduct more complex depositions, experiments and flow chemistry
Limitations	Only one solution can be handled at a time Not suitable for more complex experiments	More expensive More complex operation and maintenance
Example Applications	Dynamic spin coating of single solutions Incorporaton with large area coating techniques i.e. blade coating or doctor coating Simple flow dynamics or fluid adhesion studies Bacterial adhesion, anti-fouling or biofilm studies	Spin coating multiple layers or doing anti-solvent quenching Simple chemistry flow experiments and some continuous flow experiments More complex experimental processes involving multiple reagents.

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.
