At AMF, we’re always pushing the boundaries of precision and reliability in fluid dispensing. That’s why we’re excited to introduce the latest iteration of our industrial programmable syringe pump (SPM)—a revolutionary upgrade with a new low-flow rate edition. This new SPM brings an extraordinary advancement: it offers a flow rate that’s 134 times lower than its predecessor, enabling even more precise fluid control for a wide range of applications.
This enhanced low-flow rate capability transforms how fluids are delivered, making it perfect for applications that demand slow, consistent, and highly controlled fluid infusion. From precise drug infusions to long-term biological studies, this new version of the SPM is designed to handle the most demanding requirements with unmatched accuracy. In this article, we’ll walk you through the key features of this new SPM edition, how it outperforms previous models, and how it opens up exciting possibilities across various industries.
One of the most exciting features of this new SPM iteration is its incredible ability to achieve ultra-low flow rates. With the introduction of this new flow rate edition, the SPM can now deliver fluid at rates that are 134 times lower than what was previously possible. For example, this version supports peak speeds as low as 74.5 nm/s (74,5 nL / min), a significant reduction from the 500 nm/s capability of the previous model.
To highlight the impact of this new SPM iteration, let’s look at some real-world examples of how the new low-flow rate capability compares with previous models, using data from the SPM’s plunger speeds and syringe sizes.
1. Plunger Speed: 7.45 µm/s
This ultra-low plunger speed ensures incredibly slow and controlled fluid dispensing. It’s perfect for tasks that require precise micro-dispensing over extended periods, such as in long-term biological studies or microfluidic applications.
2. Plunger Speed: 50 µm/s
With this flow rate, the SPM delivers more fluid but still at a very precise, controlled rate. This is ideal for infusion processes where small but consistent amounts of fluid need to be delivered over an extended time, such as in drug infusion studies or cell perfusion experiments.
3. Plunger Speed: 500 µm/s
At this speed, the SPM handles higher flow rates while still maintaining precision. This makes it well-suited for applications requiring longer, continuous fluid delivery, such as in pharmaceutical testing or automated chemical reactions.
4. Plunger Speed: 10,000 µm/s
This moderate flow rate is perfect for applications that need more fluid delivered quickly but still with precision. For example, this can be used in enzyme kinetics or metabolic studies where consistent fluid delivery is crucial.
5. Plunger Speed: 50,000 µm/s
This high-speed setting allows for rapid fluid transport, making it ideal for tasks requiring quick fluid delivery, such as chemical manufacturing processes or automated sampling systems.
Summary of key flow rates for example syringe sizes:
1. Improved flow rate control:
The most significant benefit of this new low-flow rate edition is the enhanced control over the flow process. This gives researchers and engineers the ability to adjust fluid delivery with unmatched precision, allowing for more accurate experimental results across a range of applications.
2. Precision in data collection at minimal flow rates:
Many experiments require extremely low flow rates to gather accurate data. With the new SPM edition, researchers can now collect data at ultra-low speeds with much greater consistency, which is critical for high-precision experiments in fields like microfluidics and biological research.
3. Improved control in infusion processes:
The enhanced low-flow capabilities make the SPM ideal for infusion applications in fields like biotechnology, pharmaceuticals, and medical research. The ability to control fluid delivery down to extremely low flow rates ensures that experiments or treatments can be carried out with the necessary precision and without fluctuation.
This new SPM iteration opens up a variety of possibilities where precise fluid control is critical. Here are some key applications that benefit from this enhanced capability:
Beyond offering lower flow rates, the new SPM iteration also delivers improved precision in flow rate control. With better resolution between speed and flow rate, the pump ensures that even the smallest changes in fluid delivery are highly controlled. This is crucial in droplet generation, DNA sequencing, or other precision tasks where consistency and accuracy are paramount.
With a broad range of applications now possible, the new SPM is a powerful tool for researchers, engineers, and professionals in fields requiring ultra-precise fluid delivery. The ability to handle low flow rates and offer improved flow rate control makes this new edition a must-have for those looking to achieve the highest level of accuracy in their work.
