Outside of conventional syringe pumps which generate flow oscillation at low flow rate and long settling time, we can now find syringe pumps dedicated to microfluidic experiments. In theory, a microfluidic syringe pump does not generate visible flow oscillation even at a low flow rate. To learn more about syringe pumps and microfluidics, and how to optimize their possible side effects, read our review about how to them in microfluidics. The NE- 1002X syringe pump from New Era is, to our knowledge, the cheapest microfluidic syringe pump for microfluidic. It is available now at Darwin Microfluidics (Darwin Microfluidics also offers a wide range of other syringe pumps and flow control solutions for microfluidics).
Let’s come back to flow oscillation, contrary to the Cellix Exigo, New Era do not provide in their datasheet the minimum pulseless flow rate of their pump.
We can find in their datasheet the minimum flow rate they can reach, depending of the syringe diameter. The NE-1002X can reach flow rate down to 14nL/hr with a 1mL BD syringe to 0,008 nL/hr with an 1µL Hamilton glass Microliter syringe.
The New Era 1002X uses a step motor with 400 step per lead screw revolution, which is clearly lower than the Cellix one (250 000 steps). The new Era also use a 25:1 gear box. The minimum advance per step is comprised between 4,2 nm and 34 nm depending on motor speed.

Contrary to the Cellix Exigo syringe pump, the New Era pump does not include a flow rate feedback loop to fasten flow switch in your microfluidic device. If you want more information about how to reduce flow oscillation and slow responsiveness of your pump, discover our review about the use of this kind of device in microfluidics.
Contrary to the Cellix Exigo, you can control the NE-1002X using the front panel control.
Contrary to the Cellix Exigo, The New Era syringe pump does not provide software, but only a terminal emulator and programming libraries. The NE-1002X provides a RS-232 port for programming.
The pump includes internal and external triggers for synchronization with other instruments.
