The Dual Syringe Continuous Pumping Mechanism (DSCPM)

Repository for the Article: A Continuous, Low Flow, and Multiplexing Pumping System for Microfluidics Applications

This repository contains all software, hardware schematics, and supplementary materials associated with the publication:

Arduino Code:
- DSCPM 2-3/1-2
- DSCPM 2-2
- Fluidic Multiplexers
Python Scripts:
- Edge-detection scripts for generating volume-infused vs. time and flow rate vs. time plots from pre-cropped horizontal (left-to-right) videos of dyed fluid infusing into micro-bore tubing.
- Note: Generative AI was utilized in the development of these scripts. The authors have rigorously validated the generated quantitative data against raw video data and assume full responsibility for its accuracy.
3D Printable Components:
- STL files for DSCPM parts.

Appendix A
- Hardware and microfluidic chamber design files.
- .stl files for 3D-printed components (e.g., syringe plunger, valve holder).
- .gds files for microfluidic monolayer geometries (Layer 1 & Layer 2).
Appendix B
- Integrated Arduino .ino files for DSCPM pumps and fluidic multiplexers.
- Graphical User Interface (GUI) that interfaces with the Arduino via serial communication to control the pump system.
Appendix C
- Data files and analysis scripts.
- Jupyter notebooks (.ipynb) and MATLAB scripts (.m) are used to process experimental data presented in the paper.
