The Harvard Apparatus Pump Controller (HAPC) is a standalone controller for the operation of up to four pumping channels, either separately or simultaneously. Through its touch screen interface, the HAPC provides accurate feedback on the status of each pump and allows advanced programming.
The Harvard Apparatus Pump Controller (HAPC) is an evolutive device: upgrade it with up to 4 channels when your project requires it.
General
The Harvard Apparatus Pump Controller (HAPC) is the new standalone controller from Harvard Apparatus.
- Run independently from 1 up to 4 pump modules
- Can be upgraded on-field to equip empty channel slots
- Use any Harvard Apparatus pump module for HAPC
- Harvard Apparatus Pump Controller (HAPC) channels are independent: each channel can have a different pump model
- Large 7” LCD color touch screen display for real-time status and precise control
- Advanced programming features: you can even run several experiments at the same time for higher efficiency
- 2-year warranty
For a channel upgrade, please see the HAPC Channel Upgrade page.
Touch Screen Interface
The high-resolution LCD touch screen with an intuitive icon interface grants users unparalleled ease of use. Create, save, and run both simple and complex multi-step pumping methods without a PC and then clearly monitor all key parameters displayed directly on the touch screen interface.
Pump Modules
The Harvard Apparatus Pump Controller (HAPC) can run any of the following Satellite Modules. You can mix them up, or use the same modules.
See the "Specifications" tab for detailed specifications of each module.
 |
Pump 11 Elite series provides small to medium volume infusion in a compact size and high accuracy. The Pico Plus option provides smooth flow down to the pl/min. Both platforms are available in single and dual syringe configurations.
|
 |
PHD ULTRA™ high precision mechanism in a sturdy enclosure. Our smoothest flow with two simultaneous channels. Using four of the PHD ULTRA™ modules will provide eight flow streams. Each PHD ULTRA™ module can run independently of the others for true fluidic flexibility.
|
 |
PHD ULTRA™ Push/Pull high precision continuous flow mechanism. When you need smooth and precise continuous syringe pump flow at peristaltic pump volumes, using four of the PHD ULTRA™ Push/Pull modules will provide four precise continuous flow streams, without the flow pulsatility of a peristaltic pump.
|
 |
PHD ULTRA™ 4400 high pressure, enclosed syringe pump component with excellent precisions. Ideal for pumping viscous solutions.
|
 |
PHD ULTRA™ XF is our highest pressure four-channel syringe pump module. Controlling up to four of these mechanisms can provide sixteen high-pressure flow streams.

The Pump 11 Elite, Pico Plus Elite, and PHD ULTRA™ XF are fully PC controllable and come with external power supplies.
When used with the HAPC, power supplies are not required. In cases of extremely high-pressure applications using the PHD ULTRA™ XF, the provided external power supply is required.
Programs and Connectivity
Advanced Programming Features
Users can create and store multiple Methods.
The Harvard Apparatus Existing Methods and User-Defined Methods consist of Pump Operation Profiles that can be selected along with a syringe selection, commands, and I/O triggers to create a Method. There are eight Pump Operation Profiles available for selection:
- Constant rate
- Ramp
- Stepped
- Pulse
- Bolus
- Concentration
- Gradient
- Autofill
These pre-programmed profiles can be selected for quick and easy configuration of the pumps. The basic operation is a simple 3-step procedure:
- Select a Method
- Enter operating parameters
- Preview or Run your Method
Quick Start Methods are for simple infusions, withdrawals, or a combination. If more complexity is needed a User Defined Method can be made up of the pump operation profiles with up to 50 individual steps consisting of the following commands:
- Time delays
- Repeating steps
- Stopping the pump
- Triggering the pump’s TTL output
- Accepting an input, such as a user touch
- Events triggering infusion or withdrawal
Methods can be named for easy identification and stored on a computer for later retrieval. Methods can be edited, renamed, deleted, appended to one another, and exported to other pumps, giving maximum flexibility and control to the syringe pump users. By programming and saving custom Methods in the pump, multi-user errors are reduced.
Pump status
Quickly and easily monitor the status of whether each of your pumps is ready, off-line, or detecting an error, notifying you to check the connections.
