Description
Summary:In the biological engineering and medical fields, there are many applications which utilize a syringe pump to dispense a measurable amount of fluid in a controlled manner. Presently, there are a multitude of syringe pumps on the market with functions ranging from variable flow rates, to infusion and withdrawal capabilities, to programmable dispensing plans. One capability not yet applied to syringe pumps is a controllable heating and cooling system. This report presents a proposal to create a working prototype of a syringe pump with a heating and cooling system.
