Design of Multi Syringe Pump for Flow System Analysis
The aims of this work were to research: design of the multi syringe pumps, volume consistency of ISAB and the correlation of the PWM to the flow rate of carrier. Pump speed was set by PWM.

Cell sorting in a Petri dish controlled by computer vision. [PDF]
Fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) applying flow cytometry to separate cells on a molecular basis is a widespread method. We demonstrate that both fluorescent and unlabeled live cells in a Petri dish observed with a microscope can be ...

From fire whirls to blue whirls and combustion with reduced pollution. [PDF]
Fire whirls are powerful, spinning disasters for people and surroundings when they occur in large urban and wildland fires. Whereas fire whirls have been studied for fire-safety applications, previous research has yet to harness their potential burning ...

Patient-Controlled Analgesia Syringe Pumps [PDF]
The idea of administering repeated small doses of a drug intravenously is not new, but it took many years for the method to become part of the routine clinical management of pain. The traditional practice of administering an opioid in a predetermined dose by intramuscular or subcutaneous injection, and at predetermined minimal intervals, led to ...

Anticipatory syringe pumps: benefits and risks [PDF]
We welcome the Association of Supportive and Palliative Care Pharmacy’s (ASPCP) recent position statement that the perceived benefit of anticipatory prescribing of a syringe pump (driver) does not outweigh potential risks. (1) This is an area of practice which has needed clear national guidance for some time.

Modified FlowCAM procedure for quantifying size distribution of zooplankton with sample recycling capacity. [PDF]
We have developed a modified FlowCAM procedure for efficiently quantifying the size distribution of zooplankton. The modified method offers the following new features: 1) prevents animals from settling and clogging with constant bubbling in the sample ...

Effect of a rotating frame on preventing bead aggregation in a microfluidic device [PDF]
Varying bead concentrations over the course of experiments have been reported by many scientists. A new device was designed and fabricated to eliminate bead aggregation in a syringe pump prior to flowing through a microchannel. We have molded the effects

Low-cost touchscreen driven programmable dual syringe pump for life science applications
Syringe pumps are powerful tools able to automate routine laboratory practices that otherwise consume large amounts of manual labor time. Commercially available syringe pumps are expensive, difficult to customize, and often preset for a narrow range of ...
