Preface
The work for this thesis completed at The University of Lahore, Lahore, at the Department of
Technology, from October 2023 to February 2024. However, with the exception of a few cases
when it is made clear in the text, all of the work that went into this thesis originated completely
by me and my group members.
The Thesis, or any part of it, is the first to be submitted for credit toward a degree to this
university or any other. This dissertation's main text, which comprises sections one through
eight, a supplement that includes a list of resources, tables, and numbers, is roughly 53,400
words long. Therefore, there are also 92 figures, 10 tables, and 100 equations.
Several of the pieces included in this dissertation are now released

Abstract
The task assigned to our group is to create a syringe pump that could deliver liquids at a
controlled flow rate to cells in a microfluidic device. The design process of our syringe
pump proved to be a very dynamic one. The beginning research of both microfluidic gadgets and
already-existing syringe pumps gave our team ideas about how we approach
implement existing aspects that work into our design. There were many existing devices
that's quite similar to the one we received instructions to create; however, given our limited
means as students, we need to get a little more clever to figure out how to cost and
assemble each component to the best of our abilities. Developing customer
requirements was a huge step in the process of understanding what exactly you as our
customer wanted to see delivered in our syringe pump.

Introduction
Objectives
The objectives of an Arduino-based open syringe pump can vary depending on the
specific application and requirements. However, here are some common objectives
for such a system:
Methodology
Hardware
Motor Driver: We choose A4988 motor driver that can handle the 1.2
current and12 voltage of stepper motor.
Syringe: We select 12ml syringe to deliver the fluid to patient with tube.
Power Supply: We choose 12V, 1A power supply that can provide voltage
and current to operate the Arduino board, stepper motor, and motor driver.
Software Development:
The software development for an Arduino UNO-based open syringe pump involves
programming the Arduino UNO microcontroller to control the stepper motor and
handle user interactions. Here is a general outline of the steps involved:
Libraries: We identify and install Accel Stepper library or the Stepper library.
Refer to the library documentation for installation instructions.
Define Pins: We define the pins on the Arduino UNO board that is used to
connect to the motor driver. Digital pins is for step, direction, and enable signals.
User Interface: We use user interface, to implement code to interact with the
user and set parameters such as flow rate and volume. This can be done using
buttons, oran LCD display.
Motor Control: Implement code to control the stepper motor. Use the library
functions to set the 200 step speed, direction, and acceleration/deceleration profiles.
Calibration: We implement calibration routines to fine-tune the syringe pump's
accuracy. This may involve measuring the actual flow rate for different settings
and adjusting the code accordingly.
Project Timeline
Expected Outcomes
Conclusion
During the making of this project, we have learned the importance of the
different materials and their specific properties. We have understood the
importance of planning and distribution of work among team members and it
developed and mutual understanding between us.
We got a good expose of practical work for making an Open syringe pump and
learned so many things how to make it physically.
The project gave the knowledge of how to apply theoretical part in to the
practical work or in real life example. Also we were able to develop problem
solving skills through brainstorming or teamwork so to successfully complete our
project.
And we got some idea about computer programming for Arduino circuit.
And in this growing world accuracy is given more value than precision and our
project is totally based on Accuracy.
We know that it would be very beneficial for our future life.
