Tab 2

Current features include the following:

Increase/decrease flow using one hand only.
Turn on/off all pressure channels simultaneously
Switch pressure channels
Switch between different pre-set configurations

Two modes: incremental or change proportional to strength applied.

Elveflow® is continuously shaping the developments of its products. We are actively looking for user insights to provide them with the products best suited to their needs. In this scope, shoot us an e-mail if you have a functionality in mind for our microfluidic joystick and we might integrate it in a future software release!

OB1 MK3 SETUP

OB1 microfluidic flow control 4 channels zoom

PRESSURE SUPPLY: Connect a dry, dust and oil free pressure source to your instrument.
MONITORING: Control the pressure and flow rate using the Elveflow Smart Interface on your computer. This software enables you to create and run sequences with a specific pressure or flow rate profile
SAMPLE: Pressurize liquids inside tanks with your OB1 Mk3. (compatible with Eppendorf, Falcon or bottle )
CHIP: Pressurized liquids are smoothly and precisely injected onto your chip according to the set pressure or flow rate profile.
