Abstract
Laboratories all over the word use syringe pumps every day for a multitude of purposes. The market of syringe pumps is limited, as it does not consider the broad range of specifications required by different researchers. In this work, we present a 3D printed syringe pump designed to be affordable, customizable, and extremely user friendly while still maintaining reliability and precision. The pump, thanks to its flexible design and smartphone-controlled interface, can be used in educational settings as well as in biological and chemical laboratories. The presented syringe-pump is used in this work to run a light catalyzed polymerization of butyl methacrylate using visible light, in a continuous flow setup.
