Overview of the MICRO-ePUMP
Designed to simplify intracellular injection and a variety of other microinjection tasks, the MICRO-ePUMP uses carefully regulated air pressure for injecting cells with fluid. Injected volumes range from picoliters to nanoliters. Timing, injection pressure and compensation pressure are adjusted independently using the touch screen interface. Time intervals can range from 2 seconds down to 10 ms or less, depending on the injection pressure setting. The injection pressure interval is triggered using the foot switch.
The MICRO-ePUMP is designed to inject very small quantities of fluids, such as drugs, into cells or small organelles. Two different positive pressures may be applied with a precision timing circuit that switches between the two pressure automatically.
- The port supplies positive pressure for high-pressure ejection.
- The pressure port maintains a low positive “compensation” pressure to the injecting...more

The manual microsyringe pump is a convenient tool for precise manual injection of fluid using glass pipettes or similar injection devices. The design allows visual feedback of flow at the pipette tip. They can also be used as a manual micro syringe pump for perfusion or withdrawal of liquids. The resolution of the injection volume can be continuously varied from 10 nanoliters to the microliter range, depending on the syringe used. Here we show you how to setup your system.

The PUL-1000 is a microprocessor controlled, four-stage, horizontal puller for making glass micropipettes or microelectrodes. Here is how to run a program that will pull two identical microelectrodes.
Loading a Program
We will use the keypad to navigate through the display.
- Use the arrows to navigate to LOAD (00). The top and bottom arrows on the keypad navigate numbers in increments of 1. The left and right arrows on the keypad navigate numbers in increments of 10. Press ENTER. The number will start blinking.
- Use the arrows to navigate to the program number you would like load. Once you reach the desired program, press ENTER...more

Let’s look at a Peri-Star Pro peristaltic pump, which is available in four models for high and low flow rate, and 2, 4 and 8 channels. Here’s a quick introduction to the pump.
Control Keypad
Setup and operation are controlled with a Control Knob and three membrane keys. Pressing a membrane key once activates the key function.
- The Run/Stop button switches the pump on or off. If the pump is running, pressing this key immediately stops pump. If the pump is off, pressing the key turns it on.
- The Rotation Direction button sets the rotor direction clockwise or counterclockwise. The direction is shown on LCD display.
- The Full Speed button runs the pump at maximum flow rate. This is convenient to use when evacuating or cleaning the system...more

The Peri-Star Pro is a popular peristaltic pump. Here we see how to calibrate the pump so that the display shows the dispensed volume accurately.
In addition to the traditional RPM control, Peri-Star Pro also allows control of pump output by setting a calibrated flow rate. Flow rate is affected by tubing ID, tubing material, and rotor speed. Peri-Star Pro stores the flow rate relation of silicone tubing and rotor speed so that you can easily switch between controls for flow rate or RPM (revolutions per minute). Calibration is required for high precision pumping or after changing to a different type of tubing.
One of the important and unique features of Peri-Star Pro is that the control of liquid flow can be expressed either as the rotation rate of the pump head (rotation per minute, or RPM) or directly as the flow rate in milliliters per minute (mL/min.) or milliliter per hour (mL/hr). This feature makes reporting and repeating the experiment much easier...more
