Improve the reliability and repeatability of your experiements with an advanced syringe pump available at an affordable price. The high specification system offers true flexibility in your experiments; don't be held back by limited liquid control capabilities, get the basics right so you can get the most out of your research.
The 200-step motor can achieve 5 µm steps for reliable flow rates down to nl/s. Combined with a maximum force of up to 500 N, you have maximum flexibility across many solution viscosities in both withdrawal and infusion mode. With the inbuilt software, easily programme multi-step delivery processes, or control the syringe pump using serial commands for integration into complex experimental set ups.
Based on the same fundamental design principles, choose between two models:
- Single channel - Infusion & withdrawal of a single solution at targeted volumes; reliable control of small volumes; programme up to 100 steps for multi-step dispensing; adjust flow rate and volume between steps.
- Dual channel - All the single channel capabilites; synchronized infusion or withdrawal; independent channel control for dispensing two solutions at independent volumes/flow rates at once; continuous dispensing and long-duration flow processes; emulsification at controlled ratios.

Where Can Ossila Syringe Pumps Be Used?
Ossila Syringe Pumps are versatile instruments that can be implemented in many different experimental setups. If your experiment involves the delivery or processing of precise solution volumes, you will likely see a benefit from adding a syringe pump to your workflow. Take a look at some key examples below:
Thin Film Deposition - combine with coating systems to control solution volume, flow rates, and film thickness.
Flow Chemistry - independent channel control provides pulse-free delivery of precise reactant volumes.
Microfluidics - accurate and reproducible control of nanoliter flow rates.
Chromatography - stable flow rates enable optimal peak resolution and efficient separation.
Tissue Engineering - low flow rates are ideal for delivering nutrients and reagents in delicate cellular environments.
Mass Spectrometry - reliable solution delivery is useful for direct infusion and instrument calibration.

** The Ossila Syringe Pump has a stepping accuracy of 0.16%, which gives a rate accuracy of 19 nm.s-1. In practice, the accuracy of the flow rate from a syringe pump depends on the accuracy of the driver and the syringe diameter. Different syringes have different manufacturing tolerances. The diameter of plastic disposable syringes can vary by up to 3%, resulting in an error in dispense rate of up to 6%. Glass and stainless steel syringes have a higher tolerance, with a maximum of 0.5% variation in the internal diameter and volume error of up to 1%.

Syringe Pump Features
Repeatable and Reliable Liquid Control
Including a high resolution 1/128 microstepping driver as standard, you can control fluid infusion or withdrawal with a high level of accuracy. The exceptional motor control guarantees reliable flow rates and smooth syringe motion. With independent motor control in the dual syringe pump, easily implement this precision in continuous delivery or emulsification processes, even when experimental complexity increases.
Advanced Specifications, Affordable System
Set up an affordable, high specification syringe pump in your lab with the plug-and-play design. Once your ready to go, the integrated software supports up to 10 stored programs with 100 steps each, plus full control via USB. It is simple to automate routines, repeat complex dispensing profiles, and adapt quickly to new experimental needs.
Flexible and Versatile Across Experiments
Implement very accurate flow rates, work with a wide range of syringe sizes, and stick with one system for both infusion and withdrawal processes. Originally designed to automate solution deposition in thin film coating, Ossila syringe pumps are foundational when building your experimental setup across many fluid control applications.

Maximum and Minimum Flow Rate
The maximum and minimum flow rate of the syringe pump is determined by the stepping rate of the motor and the diameter of the syringe. Maximum and minimum flow rates for some common syringe sizes are shown below. By choosing the correct syringe diameter, it is possible to achieve a range of dispense rates spanning 8 orders of magnitude.
