Syringe pump

Syringe pumps, or syringe drivers, are motorised devices that accurately control the movement of fluid from a syringe by mechanically inserting or retracting the plunger. Syringe pumps feature stepper motors that accurately move the platform attached to the plunger of a syringe. The body of the syringe is held steady to the body of the unit so that the only movement is from the action of the motor.

Basic models can be used for the infusion (and sometimes withdrawal) of liquids at a set rate and are controlled simply by changing the speed of the motor. More sophisticated syringe pumps are equipped with onboard computers, which allow you to program the motion of the stepper motor with multiple steps. Therefore, causing an automatically performed a set sequence.
