Very low settling time

[/TS-VCSC-Icon-Box-Tiny]

Settling time of the flow rate and transient period can vary from several seconds to hours depending on the fluidic system.

Poor flow rate stability

[/TS-VCSC-Icon-Box-Tiny]

Discrete phenomena which look like oscillations or pulses sometimes appear due to the motor step.

No knowledge of the pressure

[/TS-VCSC-Icon-Box-Tiny]

Resistance of the device could increases (clogging, dust, high compliance…), and pressure generated by a syringe pump increases without limit…

Volume limited experiments

[/TS-VCSC-Icon-Box-Tiny]

The amount of fluid dispensed by the syringe pump is limited in volume.

Syringe pumps VS Pressure driven flow
