my schools high performance liquid chromatography uses the same pump.

Just FYI, a good amount of people running salt water reef tanks use these for accurately dosing chemicals to their tanks. With corals using up calcium etc they use these to add a certain amount of drops or ml per minute and calculate how long to run it on a timer to achieve the correct calcium levels.

dialys machines use the same to pump blood

Seems the tube would wear rapidly.

@bitRAKE This can actually be extremely expensive. Plenty of very robust tubing is available for these purposes, of course for a price!

HOLY EFFING COOL. Zach Smith? What are you doing! haha. this guy was my next-door dorm neighbor in college, and always had the best techno music.

That's actually pretty neat and at first from the flip side I couldn't tell how it was being pumped. Very creative.

Kudos.
