The LCD Screen Laboratory Constant Syringe Pump delivers precise liquid handling for microinjection and infusion applications in biological research. Available in single-channel (CS-LSP01-1Y) and dual-channel (CS-LSP02-1Y) configurations, this pump operates across a wide linear velocity range from 5μm/min to 130mm/min with an accuracy of ≤±0.5% and stroke resolution of 0.156μm. The system accommodates syringes from 10μL to 60mL capacity and features built-in compatibility with major syringe manufacturers.
The pump operates in push-pull mode for both filling and extraction operations, controlled through an intuitive interface featuring a large LCD display, digital knob, and membrane buttons. RS485 communication enables computer control and background software integration. Safety features include traffic jam protection, syringe protection, and liquid volume calibration functions, while the external control interface provides input/output control capabilities for laboratory automation integration.
How It Works
The syringe pump operates through precision stepper motor control to drive a lead screw mechanism that advances or retracts the syringe plunger at programmable rates. The motor's rotational motion is converted to linear displacement through the lead screw assembly, achieving stroke resolution of 0.156μm. The microprocessor-controlled system maintains constant flow rates by calculating the required plunger advancement based on syringe diameter and target velocity.
Push-pull operation enables both infusion and withdrawal modes through bidirectional motor control. The system continuously monitors syringe position and flow resistance, implementing traffic jam protection that detects blockages or excessive back-pressure. Liquid volume calibration compensates for syringe manufacturing tolerances and thermal expansion effects that could affect delivery accuracy.
The RS485 communication interface allows computer control through standard serial protocols, enabling integration with laboratory automation systems and data acquisition software. The external control interface provides TTL-compatible input/output signals for triggering pump operations or synchronizing with other experimental equipment.

Practical Tips
Perform liquid volume calibration monthly or when changing syringe types to maintain accuracy specifications.
Why: Compensates for syringe manufacturing tolerances and thermal expansion effects that can affect delivery precision.
Clean the syringe mechanism with appropriate solvents after each use and inspect O-rings quarterly.
Why: Prevents cross-contamination and maintains seal integrity for consistent flow performance.
Prime the system and tubing completely before starting critical experiments to eliminate air bubbles.
Why: Air bubbles can cause flow irregularities and compromise delivery accuracy, especially at low flow rates.
If traffic jam protection activates, check for kinked tubing or blocked needles before restarting.
Why: Addressing the root cause prevents repeated alarms and potential damage to experimental preparations.
Record syringe serial numbers and calibration dates in experimental logs for traceability.
Why: Enables accurate volume calculations and supports data integrity requirements in regulated environments.
Use appropriate personal protective equipment when handling syringes and ensure proper disposal of contaminated components.
Why: Protects operators from exposure to potentially hazardous experimental materials and maintains laboratory safety standards.
Start with conservative flow rates and gradually increase to optimize for your specific application requirements.
Why: Prevents damage to delicate experimental preparations and allows optimization of delivery parameters.
Verify flow rate accuracy using gravimetric methods with water at room temperature for critical applications.
Why: Provides independent verification of pump performance and ensures delivery accuracy meets experimental requirements.

Compliance
What is the minimum achievable flow rate for microinjection applications?
The pump operates down to 5μm/min, suitable for ultra-slow microinjections. At this rate with a 10μL syringe, delivery time would be approximately 2000 minutes per microliter.
How does the syringe protection function work?
The system monitors back-pressure and plunger force to detect blockages or excessive resistance. When detected, the pump automatically stops operation and displays an alert to prevent syringe damage.
Can the pump be controlled remotely during experiments?
Yes, RS485 communication enables full remote control including start/stop commands, flow rate changes, and status monitoring through compatible laboratory software.
What syringe sizes are supported by the built-in database?
The system includes profiles for major syringe manufacturers covering volumes from 10μL to 60mL. Custom syringe parameters can be manually programmed if needed.
How accurate is the volume delivery over extended infusion periods?
The system maintains ≤±0.5% accuracy with 0.156μm stroke resolution. Long-term drift is minimized through temperature compensation and periodic calibration.
What maintenance is required for optimal performance?
Regular cleaning of the syringe mechanism, periodic calibration verification, and replacement of worn tubing connections. No internal maintenance is required under normal use.
Can multiple pumps be synchronized for complex protocols?
Yes, the external control interface provides trigger inputs and outputs for synchronizing multiple pumps or coordinating with other laboratory equipment.
What is the maximum back-pressure the pump can overcome?
Consult product datasheet for specific pressure ratings, which vary based on syringe size and flow rate requirements.
