We are excited to share our lab’s latest publication, introducing the Dual-Syringe Continuous Pumping Mechanism (DSCPM), a breakthrough in microfluidic technology. This innovative pump addresses the need for precise, steady, and continuous low-flow rates in microfluidic experiments, which are often hampered by the limitations of existing pumps.
Our DSCPM is a low-cost, accessible solution featuring a 3D-printed housing and standard components, making it easy to fabricate and implement. Operating at microliter-per-minute flow rates, it uses fluidic bridge rectification to combine the precision of syringe pumps with the advantage of continuous infusion. This ensures laminar flow without disrupting microbial growth, as validated in our "cell trap" experiments.
In addition, we developed fluidic multiplexers to enhance modularity and automation, pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in microfluidic research. The DSCPM improves experimental precision and efficiency and makes advanced microfluidic techniques more accessible to researchers across various fields.
