What is the MFP Inline Pressure Sensor?

The MFP (FlowPlus) is Elveflow's large-range microfluidic inline pressure sensor. It measures positive gauge pressure from 0 to 16 bar with 2% full-scale accuracy in either liquids or gases, and uses a standard Luer-lock connection for fast, leak-free integration anywhere in your microfluidic setup. Wetted parts are FFKM — an FDA-certified elastomer with broad chemical and biological compatibility.

The MFP works as the natural complement to the low-range MPS sensor: when the experiment needs a single sensor covering a wide pressure span without dead volume, the MFP is the answer. Pair it with the MSR Sensor Reader for monitoring or with the OB1 controller for full closed-loop pressure control via ESI.

Key Features

• Wide pressure range: Single sensor from 0 to 16 bar, with 25 bar overload tolerance.
• 2% FS accuracy: Reliable measurement across the full range.
• Liquid & gas compatible: Same sensor for both media.
• FFKM wetted material: FDA-certified, suitable for food-grade and biological applications.
• Luer-lock connection: Standard, leak-free integration in any line.
• No-maintenance design: Inline sensor with no dead volume, easy to clean.
• Temperature compensated: Stable measurement across 5–40 °C operating range.

Applications

The MFP slots in wherever pressure monitoring outside the low-range MPS window is needed. Common applications include:

• Pressure monitoring of third-party pumps (syringe pumps, peristaltic pumps) via the MSR Sensor Reader.
• Closed-loop pressure control when paired with the OB1 flow controller and ESI software.
• Smooth, pulseless flow generation with feedback-controlled pressure setpoints.
• Industrial and OEM microfluidic platforms needing FDA-grade wetted materials.
• Gas pressure monitoring in microfluidic and lab-on-chip setups.
