Precision Injections for Research Laboratories
The UltraMicroPump3 is a versatile microinjection syringe pump designed to support the needs of a busy lab. Suitable for delivery of media from nanoliters to milliliters the UMP3’s SMARTouch user interface and system design enables delivery of highly accurate and repeatable injections. The choice for thousands of scientists, it is widely cited in research papers. The pump may also be used with the popular MICRO4 controller.
Benefits
Intuitive Touchscreen Display for Easy Setup
The SMARTouch controller has an intuitive touch screen interface and an easy-to-use menu for quick configuration of the syringe size, volumes and flow rates. The total system calibration is designed to eliminate human errors and reduce experimental processing time. The configuration can be saved and subsequently imported as a script via the USB port.
Control Two Injectors Simultaneously
The SMARTouch controller can independently control two injectors simultaneously, providing complete freedom in the experimental procedures. You can trigger the injection directly on the touch screen or using the optional footswitch to achieve a “hands-free” start and stop operation.
Feature Rich Graphical Interface
Thanks to the color touchscreen, researchers get vital feedback during the experiments. You can follow the injections with a graphical indication of the flow and the volume remaining in each syringe at any time. Other views offer a range of alternate information screens to suit experimental needs.
User-Configurable Mounting Bar
Depending on your setup, you can adjust the mounting bar to fit directly onto a variety of micromanipulators or stereotaxic frames. The mounting has been designed to allow for amazing flexibility in positioning. By bringing the injector closer to injection site, you reduce the dead volume as it eliminates the need for connection tubing.
Smart Smoothness
Thanks to a dual mode motor drive, the injector switches to a microstepping mode whenever the flow rate requires extra precision and extreme smoothness.
Fits a Wide Variety of Syringes
You can use syringes from 0.5µL up to 1000µL, adapting to your various injection needs. You can even mount our unique NanoFil syringes, with replaceable thin needles which range from 33 to 36 gauge for minimum disruption and low dead volume. The optional injection kits, such as the intra-vitreal kit (RPE-KIT) or the intra-occular kit (IO-KIT), will fit on the NanoFil syringe for even more applications. With the new NanoFIl plunger nut, you can use the Hamiton 7000 Neuros Syringe, too.

Syringe Pumps: A Researcher’s Guide to Precise Microinjections
When your research depends on delivering extremely small, highly controlled volumes,
precision isn’t optional. It’s essential. Micro syringe pumps are designed to meet this
challenge, enabling accurate and repeatable injections at the microliter and nanoliter
scale. In this guide, we’ll explore how these systems work, when they’re needed, and
what features matter most for reliable microinjection results.microinjection -
Popular UMP3 Injector is Not Your Ordinary Syringe Pump
The UMP3 UltraMicroPump is easy to configure using the SMARTouch interface. It is pre-programmed for popular microsyringes and allows for user-defined syringe parameters, too. This ensures nearly universal compatibility. You can control up to two pumps, either simultaneously or independently, and the optional foot switch means hands-free operation. You can instantly verify actual injection volume on the graphical display. You can even use the touch screen while wearing gloves.
