1. A system comprising:
- an pump that is configured to measure flow rate of a flow material in about real time; and
at least one flow regulator for providing substantially constant flow rate;
wherein at least one operating parameter of the pump is adjustable to change the flow rate in about real time.

Abstract
Pumps and flow regulators provide relatively constant and known flow volume over time while maintaining isolation of the flow material. The pumps of the present disclosure provide real time monitoring of the volume of flow material delivered over time, and provides for adjustment of the pump or flow regulators to modulate the flow rate. Thus, flow may be substantially modeled to a desired flow profile with real time adjustments of the flow rates.
