Pressure Reducer for Mixed Pressure Range Modules

Why use a pressure reducer? 

In the field of microfluidics, achieving stable flow rates is crucial for obtaining reproducible and reliable results. To facilitate this, Fluigent provides pressure-based flow controllers like the LineUp Flow EZ™ and LineUp™ Push-Pull, which provide the necessary control with a very short response time. These pressure controllers can be combined to create a complete set-up, with each controller providing different pressure ranges tailored to different aspects of microfluidic experimentation. 

To streamline the process of using multiple LineUp Flow EZ or Push-Pull controllers, and to minimize the need for multiple pressure sources, the Adapt module can be used to create a unified LineUp system. This pressure regulator allows the pressure at the outlet of a Flow EZ to be adjusted before the next Flow EZ is supplied, making it an ideal solution for achieving seamless pressure and flow controls in microfluidics experiments. 

Setting up a LineUp system with the Adapt module 

The pressure reducer can be used with multiple pressure-based flow controllers if they are to be combined and do not cover the same pressure ranges. 
To connect an Adapt module, the procedure is the same as for connecting two Flow EZ: simply place the two modules in series and plug them together using the plug & play feature. One important thing to know is that the LineUp modules must be arranged from left to right with decreasing pressure supply requirements. 
The “Chain to Chain Kit” can be used if your setup requires more flexibility on the lab bench.
