Pumps and valves to control slow fluid flow and very small amounts?

my capstone group is working on a project, we are in need of pumps and valves that are capable of controlling liquid flow almost at the microfluids level, we need to split up about 1 mL into .1 mL increments





the fluid being pumped will be water, it will have microscopic particles (not sure on concentration, but they will be platinum and carbon replica particles for viewing under a TEM.





We will also be delivering and draining methanol, bleach and DI Water into and out of a cleaning chamber., the pumps and valves there do not need to be as precise, however, they do need to be able to control the flow rate to as low as a 5-10 mL/min (maybe lower)

Theres a lot of expertise around you just need to find it





I hope the links helpPumps and valves to control slow fluid flow and very small amounts?
For flow rates that low, you will need a pump designed for analytical applications. The Cole Parmer Masterflex paristaltic pumps would work great for you because they are high quality and very economical. You will need a pump head, a drive, and compatible tubing. They also have accessories like fittings, flow meters, and check valves. Their online catalog is hard to read, so I would call them for proper selection.





Good Luck!!!
