Example Applications
|
In the many years that we have been designing and manufacturing
syringe pumps, we have come across hundreds of applications. If your
application is not listed or if you have a new application, please give
us a call at (631) 249-1392.

Many end users deal with highly viscous fluids. For these applications, we have a few accomodations.

Electrospinning uses an electrical charge to draw very fine (typically
on the micro or nano scale) fibres from a liquid which is dispensed
at a constant rate from a syringe pump. New Era Pump Systems, Inc. syringe
pumps are in use throughout the world for electrospinning applications.
You can reference some university studies on our
research papers webpage will show
some universities which have used our syringe pumps for electrospinning
research. Please also be aware that any of our OEM series pumps, NE-500
and NE-4500 models are NOT recommended for electrospinning applications.
If you are new to electrospinning, please contact us at info@syringepump.com for
details as to how to properly perform electrospinning.

Microfluidics deals with the behavior, precise control and manipulation of fluids that are geometrically constrained to
a small, typically sub-millimeter, scale. Micro can mean one of the following features:
- small volumes (nl, pl, fl)
- small size
- low energy consumption
- effects of the micro domain
It is a multidisciplinary field intersecting engineering, physics, chemistry,
microtechnology and biotechnology, with practical applications to the design
of systems in which such small volumes of fluids will be used. Microfluidics
emerged in the beginning of the 1980s and is used in the development of inkjet printheads, DNA chips,
lab-on-a-chip technology, micro-propulsion and micro-thermal technologies.
Many of New Era's pumps are used for microfluidics, however, we have a specific pump, the NE-1002X
Microfluidics Syringe Pump, which has the specific capacity to smoothly
deliver fluids in nl and pl amounts. The NE-1002X is the best in the market
because it delivers the smoothest flow by having the least amount of pulses.
You can reference some university studies on our research papers webpage which sites, universities that have used our pumps for microfluidics research.

Quickly and economically create a continuous operation dispensing system with 2 pumps in reciprocating operation. With just an automation cable and a valve system, the pumps can be synchronized to infuse while the other is refilling, and start and stop simultaneously. |
|
Control a chemical's concentration from an external voltage source. Using 2 pumps, one for the chemical and one
for the dilution fluid, attach each pump to an AnaBox™ analog
controller. With both pump systems attached to the
same voltage control, as the chemcial pump changes flow rate,
the dilution fluid compensates its flow rate to add up to a constant
flow rate system. |

The NE-1000 can be setup as an automated dispensing system which dispenses a set volume after a programmed time delay. Then after each dispense, a small volume can be sucked back to prevent dripping.
A multiple chemical dispensing application can be implemented with multiple pumps. The pumps can be configured to send signals between them to synchronize the dispense and react to changes in sensors.
Setup an infusion/withdrawal dispensing system to automatically synchronize itself after a power failure by attaching a refill sensor.
Pre-program an entire production shift's dispenses on an automated production line. Each dispense can be a different volume and flow rate.
Change flow rates during dispenses. Synchronize the start of each dispense with an external signal from other equipment, the operator pressing the
Start button, pressing a foot switch, or automatically after a time delay. Have the pump sound a beep to alert the operator at any time.

Prevent dripping after a dispense by programming a volume to be sucked back after each dispense.
