Syringe pumps are used in various industrial sectors due to their ability to deliver fluids with extreme precision and at very low, constant flow rates. Here are the main areas of use:

Pharmaceutical and biotechnology
Drug research and development: precise dosing of reagents during formulation
Vaccine and biologic production: controlled delivery during synthesis processes
Stability and formulation studies: controlled release testing of active ingredients

Medical and healthcare
Drug administration: continuous infusion of anesthetics, chemotherapy, pediatric/neonatal drugs where extreme precision in small volumes is required
Intensive care: delivery of sedatives, insulin, vasoactive drugs
Implantable medical devices: development and testing of insulin pumps

Chemistry and analytical chemistry
Chemical synthesis: controlled addition of reagents in flow-sensitive reactions (e.g., exothermic reactions)
Microfluidics: feeding lab-on-chip devices for chemical/biological analysis
Chromatography and spectrometry: constant-flow sample injection

Life sciences and research
Cell culture: dosing of nutrients or Reagents in bioreactors
Genomics and proteomics: sample preparation for sequencing

Food industry
Formulation testing of additives, flavors, and preservatives at the R&D laboratory level

Automotive and materials industry
Adhesive and sealant testing: dosed application during bonding trials
Coatings and coatings: controlled deposition of thin layers of material

Electronics and semiconductors
Dosing of resins, fluxes, or component encapsulation materials

Cosmetics
Formulation development, viscosity testing, and product dispensing

In general, the common thread is the need for extremely precise control of small volumes, often in the microliter or even nanoliter range, a feature that makes syringe pumps irreplaceable where peristaltic pumps or other dosing systems would not guarantee the same accuracy.

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

We have more pump models and options then listed on our web site. Please contact us to determine a pump model that will meet your specifications.
Flow rates vary with syringe size and/or tubing. Pressure and viscosity also determine proper pump selection.

These are some example flow rates for a sample of syringes with the model NE-1000 single syringe pump.
Higher flow rates are available.

Syringe Size Maximum Rate Minimum Rate
0.5 µL 25.49 µL/hr 0.001 µL/hr
1 mL 53.09 mL/hr 0.73 µL/hr
3 mL 192.5 mL/hr 2.646 µL/hr
5 mL 406.1 mL/hr 5.581 µL/hr
10 mL 600 mL/hr 8.244 µL/hr
20 mL 975.8 mL/hr 13.41 µL/hr
30 mL 1282 mL/hr 17.63 µL/hr
60 mL 2120 mL/hr 29.13 µL/hr
  • Syringe Pumps: Rule of thumb is if you can push or pull the syringe with your hand, then we have a pump that can push or pull the syringe. To reduce viscosity, you can utilize our Syringe Heater Kit. Warming up the fluid may reduce the viscosity.
  • Peristaltic Pumps: Rule of thumb is if the liquid freely flows by itself, the peristaltic pump can move your liquid.

New Era Pump Systems, Inc. syringe pumps are in use throughout the world for electrospinning applications.
Our research papers webpage list some of the universities that have used our syringe pumps with electrospinning applications.
Please also be aware that special precautions are necessary with electrospinning such as using a cage to protect the pump from sparks and using a linear power supply.
We offer a special pump power supply for use with electrospinning. 
Contact us to discuss your application.

All of our pumps with RS-232 ports can communicate with any software that is compatible with serial communications.
Computer cables sold separately. If the computer does not have a RS-232 serial port, we offer a USB to RS-232 converter.

The pumps are compatible with LabView and similar software. There is no special driver necessary. We do have example programs available.

We also offer free terminal emulator software. We also provide a Pumping Program Generator spreadsheet with a one-click up-load to the pumps.

Certainly, our Syringe Pumps can be modified to be used by left-handed people, or with outlet flows on the opposite side to the initial configuration.

Our syringe pumps have removable feet, which leave room for a thread useful for fixing them to structures and can also work easily vertically.

If you require pumps with higher flow rates or you don’t see a feature that you need, just contact us. 
There are products available that are not listed on the site. Also, we’re constantly adding features and are always looking for new ideas.
