Syringe Pump #1

We always can name scientific equipment as we want. I have different equipment all called 'syringe pump'. I would like to introduce these because it shows how much syringes are important to scientific experiments.




This syringe pump above is used to inject small amount of liquid into target areas (such as bottles, containers, etc.). The greatest function of this syringe pump is several options for rate we can choose from very tiny to relatively faster rate. I am going to use it to simulate diffusion of nutrients across haloclines, which is a sharp gradient of density, in estuary. We can calculate or use already estimated diffusion rate of molecules (such as oxygen, nitrate, nitrite, sulfate, etc.) in water. Then, using the pump ensures the simulation as close to real environment as possible.
