When to Use Tight Tolerance vs. Standard Tolerance Pump Heads
Key Takeaways: Tight tolerance pump heads offer superior precision, reduced leakage, and better...
When engineers and designers search for syringe pumps for medical devices, laboratory automation, or microfluidic systems, they’re often looking for precision, reliability, and ease of integration. But what if there was a better way to achieve all that—without the maintenance headaches and design limitations?
The Challenges with Traditional Syringe Pumps
If you're considering a syringe pump for your next instrument, here are some common issues to be aware of:
- High maintenance: Syringes wear out after 100K–250K cycles
- Downtime: Frequent recalibration and part replacement
- Bulky fluidic architecture: Requires multiple pumps and valves
- Limited throughput: Slower dispense cycles reduce efficiency
