Open Source Microfluidic Pump
Welcome to the official repository for Open-source, 3D-printed Peristaltic Pumps for Small Volume Point-of-Care Liquid Handling. This repository serves as an addendum to the paper Behrens et al. published in Scientific Reports in 2020. This repository hosts the original STL files presented in Behrens et al. (pump 1.0), along with instructions for assembling the pump. Additionally, this repository hosts parts for an updated design (pump 1.1), which provides improved functionality while signifigantly reducing the cost per pump.

Electrical Schematic
This schematic shows how the pump electronics are designed to be connected together. The associated code in this repository is written assuming that this is the physical configuration.
