Application Areas

Electrospinning and Electrospraying

Electrospinning and Electrospraying are examples where syringe pumps are used to infuse the chemical solution into a high voltage setup. These processes synthesize nanofibers and nanoparticles. In most electrospinning laboratory set-ups, the syringe pump is installed to feed the sample solution through an insulating tube. The polymer solution in the tube is extruded towards the collector as it exudes out of the orifice of a charged needle using a high voltage power supply (DC).

Micro-dialysis

Micro-dialysis techniques use syringe pumps for a minute flow of solution to monitor concentrations of biochemical molecules. Usage is primarily found in pre-clinical animal cell analysis and environmental research for soil flux sampling. Similarly, pumps like these are a valid alternative in veterinary medicine, as they have proved to be helpful in facilitating research involving animal models. The laboratory syringe pump also facilitates the administration of fluids/blood products to very small animals as the traditional means can risk the overdose of fluids to smaller animals.

Pharmaceutical & Drug Delivery Research

In drug testing and pharmacokinetic studies, syringe pumps enable the precise and programmable infusion of active compounds, excipients, or test fluids at controlled flow rates. This level of control is essential for investigating dose–response relationships, bioavailability, absorption profiles, and metabolic pathways. Additionally, syringe pumps are often used to simulate sustained or slow-release drug delivery systems under laboratory conditions — mimicking real-world administration scenarios such as intravenous drips or implantable delivery devices.

Nanocoatings & Surface Functionalization

Dip coater systems play a vital role in the application of nanocoatings and the surface modification of substrates used in biomedical devices, electronic components, and energy systems. By precisely controlling withdrawal speeds and immersion times, researchers can apply uniform nanoscale films that alter surface properties such as wettability, biocompatibility, conductivity, or corrosion resistance. This makes dip coating an ideal method for functionalizing sensor surfaces, implantable materials, microelectronic layers, and next-generation energy devices like fuel cells and solar panels.
