How accurate are your pumps?

Much better than 1% of dispense rate and volume. Please call to have our engineers determine whether the equipment will fulfill the level of accuracy that you want. We would be happy to assist you.

What kind of flow rates can your pumps handle?

Flow rates vary with your selection of syringe and the type of motor and gearing in the pump. Please call to have our engineers confirm the correct selection for your application. The following are example flow rates for a sample of syringes. Higher flow rates are available.

Syringe Size (cc) Maximum Rate (mL/hr) Minimum Rate (µL/hr)
0.5 µL 25.49 0.001
1 53.09 0.73
3 192.5 2.646
5 406.1 5.581
10 600 8.244
20 975.8 13.41
30 1282 17.63
60 2120 29.13
Are your pumps good for electrospinning?

Yes, 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 here will show some universities that 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.
Are your pumps compatible with our software?

The pumps can communicate with any software that is compatible with RS-232. If the software isn't compatible with RS-232, it will need a RS-232 converter.

The pumps are compatible with Labview. There is no driver necessary, however, it will work with a driver as well.

Will the syringe or peristaltic pump work with my viscous liquid?
  • Syringe Pumps: Rule of thumb is that if you can push the liquid with your hand, we have a pump that can push the syringe plunger filled with your liquid. To reduce viscosity, you can utilize our Syringe Heater Kit. Warming up the fluid will reduce the viscosity.
  • Peristaltic Pumps: Rule of thumb is that if the liquid freely flows by itself, the peristaltic pump can move your liquid.
