Microfluidic flow manager unit
The Microfluidic Flow Manager Unit P-OEM series offers excellent response time, pulseless, and highly stable flow conditions for industrial precision microfluidic applications where conventional syringe pumps or peristaltic pumps do not show sufficient performance.
- Accurate
- Compact
Adapted to industrial uses
- Cost-effective
Reduced reagents consumption
- Versatile
Highly customizable through numerous options
Features
Designed for industrial integration
The multi-channel design is highly compact, ranging from 1 to 4 channels or from 5 to 8 channels. Since fluids are not in contact with the instrument, there is no routine cleaning, and cross-contamination is drastically reduced. The P-OEM Module design is cost-effective and relies on patented technologies
A large range of pressure and flow rates
Positive/Negative pressure ranges can be applied on different channels of the same module. The optional advanced multi-channel Flow-Rate Control Module Software combined with the FS Series device makes it possible to have full control on flow rates in any coupled multi-channel configuration while keeping the benefits of a pressure actuation
Benefits of pressure control
In addition to a more stable flow rate, the flow settling time is drastically reduced (< 1 s) in both single or multi-channel configurations, enabling significant reagent cost-savings and time-saving.
