Ordering Information


The MICROLAB 600 is available as a Stand Alone, Dual Syringe Pump. Windows computers can be programmed to communicate with these pumps using an Application Programming Interface (API) provided by Hamilton. The API simplifies connection to a single pump or a daisy chain of pumps as well as initializing, moving, and requesting status from the pump. The API is compatible with programming languages like C#, Visual Basic (VB), and LabView that support Microsoft .NET 2.0. The API simplifies programming however, successful operation of the Stand Alone Syringe Pumps requires knowledge of a compatible programming language.

Why Choose a Stand Alone Syringe Pump?

Some liquid handling applications require the integration of multiple electronic devices to accomplish a single task. An example might be a manufacturing line that fills vials with liquid. A single computer could control the conveyor belt, a robotic arm to position the dispense tube, and a syringe pump to dispense the liquid. It is possible to accomplish this task using the MICROLAB 600 Controller by making use of the TTL communication, but the error handling would be more robust through the API.

What comes with a Stand Alone Syringe Pump?

The pump comes with the Universal Valves, syringe(s) and the programmer's CD. Additional accessories including tubing and the hand probes can be purchased separately to handle the desired application.

Programmer's Manual

An electronic help file is provided on the programmer's CD. This file describes the commands handled by the API and the proper variables to be passed with each command.

Example Programs

The programmer's CD contains brief example programs written in C#, Visual Basic, and LabView. These programs illustrate the basics of discovering syringe pumps, connecting, setting parameters, moving the syringes/valves, and error handling.
