Cleaning laboratory syringes helps prevent contamination and ensures accurate dosing. You should always adhere to the protocols of your institution and the manufacturer of your syringe. Specific cleaning requirements may vary based on the intended use of the syringe, its material composition , and the sample fluid introduced. Here is a typical protocol for cleaning a laboratory syringe...more

Syringes have a wide range of applications in a laboratory setting due to their ability to accurately measure and dispense liquids. Common lab uses include transferring precise volumes of liquid samples from one container to another for dilution, mixing, reagent preparation, and sample extraction. You may be using them for analytical techniques, like chromatography (such as high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) or gas chromatography), spectrophotometry, and titration. Syringes are often used for precise dosing and delivery of reagents during chemical reactions and synthesis processes, or in life science research for aspirating media, adding growth factors or nutrients, and transferring cells. In medical and veterinary research, syringes are used for the injection or infusion of drugs, vaccines, or contrast agents into animal models or cell cultures. Researchers can use lab syringes to collect liquid samples, particularly in environmental monitoring, water quality analysis, or biological...more

Easy to Configure Using the SmartTouch Interface

The UMP3 UltraMicroPump is easy to configure using the SMARTouch interface. It is pre-programmed for popular microsyringes and allows for user-defined syringe parameters, too. This ensures nearly universal compatibility. You can control up to two pumps, either simultaneously or independently, and the optional foot switch means hands-free operation. You can instantly verify actual injection volume on the graphical display. You can even use the touch screen while wearing gloves.

Ensure Reliable Injections of Small Volumes

The extremely fine thread-pitch of the UMP3 drive shaft ensures reliable injections of small volumes. When you are using a 10-microliter syringe...more

With the first approved human gene therapy trial in 1989¹ (Rosenberg, et.al.), gene therapy has come a long way in modern medicine and is making inroads in clinics and the market in general.^2,3 2017 was an important year for gene therapy when Luxurna, the first human gene therapy drug for an inherited retinal dystrophy, was approved by Food and Drug Administration (USA).⁴ Now several drugs are undergoing clinical trials. With an estimated $11 billion (USD) market in the next 10 years, both clinical trials and the pharmaceutical industry are expected to benefit immensely from gene therapy.⁵

With improved use of viral vectors (Adeno-associated virus (AAV), adenovirus, lentivirus, retrovirus, HSV) or non-viral vectors, research and clinical trials on the development of therapeutic genes have witnessed great success. Viral vectors have been employed for the treatment of various diseases such as metabolic...more
