Model C70 & C71 Syringe Pump
The syringe pump has two models available: Internal (C70) and External (C71). The specifications,
procedures, and performance are the same for both models (see Figures 10 & 11).

The addition of the syringe pump to the FlowCAM allows for more accurate and precise fluid handling
and results in new modes of priming and operating the FlowCAM. Flow rates are selectable from 0.005
- 200 mL/min and sample volumes as low as 35 µL are acceptable. See Section Four for more
information regarding software control of the syringe pump.
During the set up of the syringe pump tubing lengths must be considered. Ensure the tube lengths above
and below the flow cell are measured accurately in centimeters. It is recommended that a minimum
resolution of 0.25 cm be used when inputting these lengths. As long as the same flow cell is being
reused then these lengths will not need to be changed on a regular basis.
Warning: Using high viscosity fluids may cause damage to the syringe pump, which would not be
covered by the Standard Factory Limited Warranty.
