What is the Harvard Apparatus Pump Controller (HAPC)?

The Harvard Apparatus Pump Controller (HAPC) is a dedicated touchscreen control system designed to operate one to four channels of Harvard Apparatus PHD Ultra™ and Pump 11 Elite™ syringe pumps from a single, centralized interface. Engineered for complex multi-pump infusion and withdrawal protocols, the HAPC eliminates the need to individually program each pump, streamlining experimental workflows in pharmacology, neuroscience, and in vivo research.

With its intuitive 7" WQVGA TFT color touchscreen and non-volatile memory, the HAPC retains all settings between sessions and supports advanced programming modes including conditional control and time-based methods — making it ideal for chronic dosing studies, microdialysis experiments, and precise drug delivery in awake, behaving animals.

Key Features

• Multi-Channel Control (1–4 Channels): Control up to four independent syringe pump channels from a single unit. Available in 1-, 2-, 3-, and 4-channel configurations (catalog numbers 704401–704404) to match your experimental setup.
• 7" Touchscreen Interface: The large WQVGA TFT color display provides an intuitive touchscreen interface for programming methods, monitoring pump status, and controlling multiple channels simultaneously.
• Advanced Method Programming: Create and execute complex infusion/withdrawal protocols with conditional logic, relative time clocks, and multi-step programs — without requiring a PC during operation.
• Non-Volatile Memory: All pump settings and methods are stored in non-volatile memory, ensuring protocols are retained even after power cycling — essential for long-running or repetitive experiments.
• Compatible with PHD Ultra™ and Pump 11 Elite™: Designed to work seamlessly with Harvard Apparatus's PHD Ultra and Pump 11 Elite syringe pump families, providing a unified hardware ecosystem for precise fluid control.
• Wide Voltage Range: Operates on 100–240 VAC, 50/60 Hz for global compatibility across research facilities.
