Tests were conducted to observe the performance of the syringe pump. Specifically, the actual flow rate of the system was compared with the input flow rate. Flow rates were tested for syringe sizes 1, 3, 5, 10 mL.
In chemistry, it is generally more important to have an accurate ratio of the reagents in a reaction. Therefore, two pumps were ran at the same time to see if the ratio of the discharged liquid was accurate. A 1:1 ratio and a 2:1 ratio was tested with the results displayed in the table below.
