Overview

Elveflow’s Starter Pack can be set up in many ways that bring the many benefits of pressure-driven pumping to your microfluidic applications. One of the key advantages of Elveflow’s OB1 Flow Controller is to remove any flow oscillations and enable very fast flow rate changes (no inertia) while remaining extremely stable.

From simple single-channel microfluidic flow to multi-channel droplet experiments, the Starter Pack covers hardware needs for a wide range of applications. The whole system is controlled by the powerful ESI software which allows you to simply set pressures and monitor your experiment, or try advance functions such as full automation and running scripts.

You can add different Elveflow modules to suit your experimental needs. These modules include valves, sensors, bubble traps and many more.

Why use microfluidics?

Microfluidics is the science of manipulating and controlling fluids, usually in the range of microliters (10-6) to picoliters (10-12). It is an amazing technology that brings lots of benefits to many varied applications areas of science such as:

  • Very low sample and reagent consumption
  • High reproducibility
  • Upmost control of experimental conditions (temperature, mixing, pressure, etc…)
  • Easy automation
  • Continuous processes
  • And many more!

Control flow rates directly

Pressure-driven flow controlled microfluidics: Switch from an accurate pressure control to an effective flow rate control by adding Elveflow’s Flow Rate Sensors.

Those  sensors, combined with the ESI software and its built-in feedback loop control, enable monitoring and control of liquid flow rates. You can dial in a flow rate value and your system will quickly and accurately reach that flow rate by adjusting the system pressure.

Add chips to make droplets, encapsulate cells…

Elveflow offers a variety of chips designed for specific applications such as droplet generation, flow focusing, cell encapsulation, and many more.

Upgrade your OB1 Flow Controller

The OB1 Flow Controller is a powerful instrument that can be tailored to suit your needs. We offer different channels, for vacuum and/or pressure, from -900 mBar up to 8000 mBar. You can swap or add channels to your OB1 Flow Controller at a later date. Contact us to find out more about the procedure.
