Controller
The SYR-1200 is operated from its own computer controller which means that a PC is not required for operation. The controller stores and recalls the various programs and has a keypad for user input and a screen to display the experiment’s progress.
Standard Programs
The most common, most useful pump applications are preloaded into permanent
memory. Examples:
Program 1. Timed Addition
Sequentially adds up to 16 reagents to either a single or to multiple reactors at user specified rates. The syringe automatically primes and refills with the active reagent as needed.
Example
(pump fitted with a 5 mL syringe):
1) Add 12mL of reagent A at a rate of 3 mL/min
2) Add 2.5mL of reagent B at a rate of 0.025 mL/min
3) Delay 1 hour
4) Add 10mL of reagent C at a rate of 60 mL/min
Program 2. Program Loader Use the included KEM-Commander software to construct a custom syringe pump program in a drag-and-drop visual environment. Program Loader then uploads that program to nonvolatile memory in the syringe pump controller. Once stored in the controller, the program can be run at any time with no PC needed. Construct programs for parallel reactions, filling titer plates, washing, or any custom application.
Program 3. PC Control Places all functions of the syringe pump under PC control. Useful for robotic applications or when part of a larger automated reaction system.
Program 4. Custom At no additional charge, the user can specify a custom syringe pump program. This program is written by J-KEM and stored as one of the permanent programs.
Program 5. Update Manager
Allows new or updated programs, available from J-KEM (via E-mail or web site), to be uploaded into permanent memory.
Program 6. Concurrent Addition
(SYR-2200 only) Adds two reagents in parallel to a common reaction at two independent rates.
Program 7. Serial Dilution
(SYR-2200 only) Repeatedly dispenses two reagents in a user-specified ratio.
Custom Programs
J-KEM will write one custom program and load it into permanent memory at no additional charge.
Creating New Programs
The SYR-1200 comes with a free program called KEM-Commander. With this application sophisticated script-style programs can be built in a drag-and-drop environment. KEM-Commander programs can be thousands of commands long.
Examples of program script commands are shown below.
