Surfactants are of widespread importance in biochemistry, the detergent industry, analytical chemistry, and many other areas that are both academically and industrially important. Here we report the design and evaluation of an inexpensive and novel syringe pump. The system is suitable for the academic and small laboratory setting. It has been tested here by measuring the Critical Micelle Concentration (CMC) of surfactants with a relatively high degree of accuracy. The system may also be adapted for use in chromatography, controlled reagent dispensing for synthesis or other biochemical and biomedical applications.
