Pump for Disease Cure

Challenge: Claire is a biochemist who has been working on a cure for a particular disease. She thinks she may have finally found it. To test her discovery she will be pumping her concoction into sick white lab mice. She is looking for a very low flow rate- 30 µl/min. It is also very crucial that the flow has little to no pulsation (meaning that the flow is very steady and not choppy). Understandably, she won’t reveal the composition of the cure but she did say it was an aqueous mixture. She needs to dispense a total of 500 µl. What pump do you offer her?

1. High-Precision, High-Pressure Piston Pump
2. Micro Diaphragm Pump
3. Peristaltic Low Flow High-Accuracy Pump
4. Syringe Pump
