Pushing small aliquots of media through a 0.22um syringe filter is a pain to say the least. A simple pump like this could save me some time and calluses. I prep fresh protoplast isolation media every day and having to make stocks without a vacuum filter setup is something I dread. Those disposable bottle top filters are so expensive! Thingiverse also had some examples of similar machines for the same purpose. Why a dumb syringe pump would ever retail for $800 is beyond me. Slap the word laboratory and its a 400%+ markup. Glad to see academic labs are utilizing 3D printers for their hardware.
