SUTD researchers developed a highly-customisable, 3D-printed peristaltic pump kit where users from around the world can download the design files, 3D-print and assemble their do-it-yourself peristaltic pump.

To make microfluidic pumps more accessible to the scientific community, SUTD researchers developed a highly-customisable, 3D-printed peristaltic pump kit, where users from around the world can download the design files, 3D-print and assemble their do-it-yourself peristaltic pump.
The development of microfluidic systems for lab-on-a-chip (LoC) and organs-on-a-chip (OoC) applications require precise fluid flow control. Typically, on-chip flows are controlled by integrating a microfluidic chip with external pumps that deliver fluid flow at the microscale (typically on the order of mL/min) through the microchannels. To this end, commercially available flow devices such as extrusion syringe pumps, peristaltic pumps and pneumatic pumps have been widely used.
