A high-pressure syringe pump like WPI's Aladdin Single-Syringe Pump is often used in research where precise, controlled delivery of fluids at elevated pressures is required. High-pressure syringe pumps can be used in chemical synthesis processes requiring precise control over the addition of reagents. This is especially important in reactions that occur under high pressures, such as certain types of catalytic reactions or polymerization processes. High-pressure syringe pumps can be utilized in biological and biochemical research for controlled delivery of solutions, such as high-pressure cell lysis, protein folding studies, or studies involving high-pressure biophysical techniques. Researchers studying catalysis, especially those focusing on heterogeneous catalysis, may use high-pressure syringe pumps to deliver reactants at controlled rates and pressures.
