Setup : Pressure sensor + Sensor Reader + OB1 flow controller
In microfluidic experiments, precise control over variables is crucial for reliable results. Pressure in microfluidic systems, in particular, plays a vital role, significantly affecting fluid behavior at the microscale. Maintaining optimal pressure levels is essential for preserving the integrity of pressure-sensitive components and ensuring accurate experimental outcomes
Capillary Pressure Sensor
Maintaining precise control over pressure at every juncture within your microfluidic setup is paramount for safeguarding the integrity of pressure-sensitive components and samples. Yet, accurately gauging pressure throughout the entire microfluidic device poses challenges due to pressure drops within the system (such as connectors, tubing, microfluidic resistors, chips, etc.). These challenges can be addressed by employing a pressure sensor capable of measuring and regulating pressure through a feedback loop at specific points within your setup. Implementing a pressure sensor feedback loop allows you to fine-tune pressure control effectively.
Most microfluidic devices and chips will be affected by pressure drops : the setup presented here can monitor via two pressure sensors and a sensor reader the effective drop occurring on a microfluidic chip
To address these challenges effectively, it is highly advisable to integrate a pressure sensor into your microfluidic system.
A pressure sensor fulfills two crucial functions:
OB1 flow controller
Sample Reservoirs
Microfluidic Pressure Sensor
Microfluidic Sensor Reader
Used with pressure controller
Used with syringe pump
Functionality: While pressure sensors and sensor readers can be utilized, syringe pumps lack feedback loop benefits. However, monitoring pressure in syringe pump setups remains crucial, especially for pressure-sensitive samples or incompatible connectors.
