Pump Perfusion System

Peristaltic Pumps have become a very important and necessary part of doing research. However, the cost of buying one of these devices are very expensive. The commercial units often use a single motor, which lacks the flexibility to pump multiple independent fluid conduits at different speeds and time intervals simultaneously in an automated, user-programmed manner. The system we have designed is housed in a 3D printed case that can be printed on any standard 3D printer. We have also uploaded the design files so you can easily manipulate for your design needs (or put your logo on the top like we did!). This new system is controlled through Arduino IDE and thus is easily manipulated to adjust the code to suit your needs. To build this system (not including 3D printing time) it would take less than an afternoon from start to finish.

Here, we present a system the will use 6 individual motors, that can be scheduled to turn on/off, and each run at specified speeds. Essentially, this is an
