What the microfluidics community say

We do love using the OB1 pressure controller and MUX distribution valve as it has helped us make our protocol significantly better and faster, alllowing us to complete our experiments quicker and get higher quality data.

The Elveflow OB1 MK4 has given us simple, accurate, responsive, and with the software development kit, automatic control over the fluid flows into our microfluidic devices. Elvesys has taken the task of developing optimal pressure and flow control methods out of the equation, so our focus can be where it should be: on microfluidic device design and operating procedure development.

"We are well satisfied with the ELVEFLOW pressure pump. The ELVEFLOW is well accurate and easy to use, therefore, easily usable / transferable to different devices and tests. The ELVEFLOW pressure generator has mainly enabled us to simplify several complex experimental setups by replacing them by the ELVEFLOW pressure pump while increasing the reproducibility of the experiments."

"We are satisfied with the ELVEFLOW instrument, the regulation accuracy is well fitted with our applications. The advantage of this instrument is the capability it offers to easily move the experiments anywhere you want. This feature is very convenient, especially when we encapsulate cells into droplets in cell culture platforms."

"The instruments that we got made our experiments much easier and reliable and we are highly satisfied with them. The control of the instruments is handled through a LabView interface and the available libraries are great and easy to integrate into your own VIs, so that tailored interfaces can be created efficiently."

"We really appreciate the stability and low response time of the flow controller, which is important when various flow conditions must be applied successively. The flow can be precisely and easily controlled thanks to a user-friendly interface. Fluid switching also greatly simplified using the flow multiplexer."

"We like very much the fact that the instruments are plug-and-play. It enables to easily set up an experiment with. We also like the portability of the ELVEFLOW pressure pumps, as we need to move our experiment. We are very satisfied with the ELVEFLOW instruments, the pressure ranges are very useful for our applications."

"The auto-calibration function for the flow control is really nice, after that the response is very fast and the flow is stable. We played a bit with different diameter tubing, but I’ve worked with microfluidic setups before, and it was all very intuitive and easy to use. I already prefer this system over our syringe pumps."
