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.
