MSR – MICROFLUIDIC SENSOR READER

You can have the sensors (pressure, flow rate,…) wherever you want in the setup in order to monitor your microfluidic experiment. The Sensor Reader module allows you to control 4 sensors simultaneously via our software and you can use several Sensor Readers if you need. It is an ideal supplement of the OB1 flow controller if you need to control all your experiment parameters.

SENSOR READER FOR MONITORING OR CONTROLLING THE MEASUREMENT OF YOUR SENSORS

Benefit in an optimal manner from the performance of Elveflow® Sensors with the Sensor Reader acquisition interface. The open interface Sensor Reader also allows you to use third-party sensors.

Fast and precise

With an acquisition sampling rate of up to 100 Hz and a 11 bit resolution, the Sensor Reader enables you to easily conduct experiments involving monitoring or controlling a physical parameter with analog sensors in real time.

Wide compatibility

Sensor Reader embed two independent power supplies ranging from 5 to 25 V (one for the channels 1-2, one for the channels 3-4). This allows the use of a wide variety of sensors functionning with different voltages for their power supply. Thus, up to four sensors working with 2 different voltages for their power supply can be monitored simultaneously.

> See Elveflow® fully compatible pressure sensor & flow sensor below

Noise reduction

An embeded analog 60 Hz low pass filter function can be activated on each channel independently to reduce sensor noise.

Real time monitoring & FeedBack loops

Our Smart Interface enables you to control your setup after a few minutes of training. Sensor measurements can be  monitored in real time simultaneously with measurements of other Elveflow® apparatuses. Data can be logged and measurements can be used in interaction with other apparatuses to make feedback loops.

«Plug & Play Microfluidics» is not just a motto to us. Users will benefit from a control algorithm that ensures an extremely  sensitive and responsive flow rate regulation, while being very simple to operate.

Fitted for microfluidic

Our Sensor Reader achieveS a 11 bits resolution at up to 100 kHz sampling rate and a sub-resolution noise, for accuracy levels on your sensor measurements down to 0.05% of the full scale and response times down to 0.1 ms.
