Syringe Pump Pressure Calculator
Posted by Vincent Rocher on Dec 16th 2020
Calculate the pressure generated by a syringe pump according to 3 parameters:
linear force the syringe pump can exert
number of channels on the syringe pump (number of syringes)
syringe internal diameter
Example: a syringe pump with 12 channels and 1 mL Hamilton glass syringes (ID of 4.61 mm) ge

How to avoid air bubbles in your microfluidic chip?
Posted by Christelle ANGELY on Nov 30th 2020
You have probably all experienced it, the formation of air bubbles in microfluidics is a very common phenomenon and can in the worst case totally ruin an experience of several days.
In other cases, without ruining the experiment, air bubbles can influence the result obtained, which can be damaging w

Peristaltic Pumping: How Does It Work?
Posted by Vincent Rocher on Nov 20th 2019
Functional principle of peristaltic pumps
Peristaltic pumps are so-called roller pumps in which the rollers are rotated over a tube placed in the pump head, leading to the mechanical alteration of the form (squeezing) of the tube.
The restitution of the tube following the roller triggers pumping of
