What is the MFS Microfluidic Flow Sensor and what is it used for?
The MFS Microfluidic Flow Sensor is a thermal-technology flow rate sensor by Elveflow, covering 7 nL/min to 40 mL/min across 6 models. It provides non-invasive, bidirectional flow measurement and is fully compatible with Elveflow pressure controllers and the OB1 flow controller for closed-loop microfluidic control.
What research applications is the MFS Microfluidic Flow Sensor suited for?
The MFS is suited for microfluidic organ-on-chip research, cell biology perfusion systems, droplet microfluidics, chemical synthesis, and any application requiring precise, real-time liquid flow monitoring and closed-loop flow control.
What are the key technical features of the MFS Microfluidic Flow Sensor?
The MFS (catalog number: MFS) uses non-invasive thermal measurement technology, offers bidirectional flow sensing, ultra-low internal volume, and sub-millisecond response time. Six models cover flow ranges from nL/min to mL/min to suit diverse microfluidic applications.
Is the MFS Microfluidic Flow Sensor available in Israel with local support?
Yes. NBT Ltd distributes Elveflow microfluidic products in Israel. Our team provides local support, integration assistance, and application guidance for the MFS and the complete Elveflow microfluidic control ecosystem.
How does the MFS integrate with Elveflow pressure controllers?
The MFS Microfluidic Flow Sensor connects directly to Elveflow OB1 pressure controllers and the ESI software platform, enabling automated closed-loop flow control where pressure is automatically adjusted to maintain a user-defined flow rate setpoint in real time.
