OPEN-SOURCE PROGRAMMABLE PERISTALTIC PUMP
OpenFlowCtrl Peristaltic Pump
Introducing the OpenFlowCtrl, a cutting-edge peristaltic pump for physiology experiments – designed to give neuroscientists precise, reliable control over perfusion rate.
With its intuitive LCD interface and simple control knob, you can easily set dosing volumes, flow rates, and pumping direction, ensuring precise delivery for every experiment. The pump offers both continuous and dose-specific operation modes, allowing researchers to tailor it to their needs.
Thanks to its USB control interface, you can integrate the pump seamlessly with popular software platforms like MATLAB, LabVIEW, and Python, streamlining remote operation.
Accurate calibration is made simple, ensuring your pump delivers exact volumes with minimal error. Whether you’re dosing microliters or pumping continuously, this pump is your reliable partner in precision fluid handling.
This open-source peristaltic pump was originally developed by the IGEM in Aachen, and published on Github.
The NeuroGig-built OpenFlowCtrl features a 6-roller pump, instead of the published 3 rollers. We also offer 2 channels (inflow and outflow)
Specifications:
Number of channels: 2
Number of rollers: 6
Maximum flow rate: Depends on tubing used, but fast enough for quick flushing of system
Minimum flow rate: uL level
