Cole Parmer website has a range of ismatec pumps that allows you to get a multichannel head that would fit your application. I helped purchase one of their masterflex series pumps for our lab's organ-on-chip experiments. The one we use possesses higher rates since our channels are much larger than a microfluidic one. Their technical support is excellent in tailoring options that serve your application better.
