MUX QUAKE VALVE

Flow switch matrix to control Quake and other bilayer PDMS valves 

Open and close your Quake valves in 50ms. The valve matrix 3:2 coupled with Elveflow software permits you to control the opening and closing of Quake valves in one click. To automate your experiment, you can also program opening and closing sequences in a few easy clicks.

• Plug & Play programmable valve sequence
• Fast valve switch 50ms
• Fine valve position tuning (coupled with the OB1 pressure controller)
• Flexible : from 4 to 256 PEEK valves
• Internal/external trigger
• ROCKER® valve technology

 

Applications : Quake valve control, integrated peristaltic pump, valve position tuning for cell confinement.

Principle : With this matrix of 3:2 valves, you can simply choose when to  put your PDMS bilayer valve under pressure. Coupled with the 0.005% stability of our OB1 pressure controller, it enables you to finely control and stabilize your valve position in the  intermediate position.

Performance and Precision : By coupling the valve matrix with our OB1 Pressure controller, you can control the position of your valves with a stabilty and precision of 0.005%.

MUX CROSS CHIP

Flow switch matrix for a multitude of functions in one easy click

Thanks to its integrated manifold and the ROCKER® valve technology, this valve matrix allows you to carry out a multitude of functions in one easy click : instantaneous flow stop, sequences of injection phases, flow focusing, cleaning and stabilizing the flow inside your cross-formed microfluidic chip.

• Plug & Play instrument designed to stop the flow in your microfluidic device in 100ms with no residual flow.
• PEEK valves compatible with 10-32 microfluidic fittings.
• Plug & Play programmable stop flow
• Complete equilibrium & stop flow in 100ms
• Ultra low volume injection  (coupled with the Elveflow manifold)
• Internal/external trigger

 

Low Volume : By using a liquid buffer as a carrier phase, and by introducing your samples using a T Junction or the Elveflow chip holder, the valve matrix allows for the controlled injection of very low volumes (<10µL) onto your microfluidic chip.

Zero Flow: Thanks to the « Zero Flow » function, you will no longer have any residual Poiseuille flow during observation or separation phases within your cross-formed chip. Achieve performant and reproducible results like never before!

Additionnal : This product can be coupled with the optoreader to achieve phase separation on a chip easily and with an unmatched performance/price ratio !

MUX FLOW SWITCH MATRIX

Flow switch matrix for fast drug switches in microfluidic devices.

A Plug & Play instrument designed to easily switch drugs in your microfluidic device in less than 300ms.

SAVE TIME AND INCREASE REPRODUCIBILITY 

How many times have you had to return to your setup to change the liquid in the reservoirs, take samples, launch the different stages of cleaning and reset your system? With the automated control of multiple reservoirs, you can automatically re-launch all your experiments without having to stay next to your setup. Finally, thanks to the fact that with our software, you can carry out 10 experiments in the time that it takes you do 1, you will be able to gather solid statistical data.

• PEEK valves with 10-32 microfluidic fittings.
• Plug &Play USB software
• No sample cross-contamination & no backflow
• Flexible : from 4 to 256 valves
• Internal/external trigger
• ROCKER® valve technology
• Changes in pressure will be executed at the speed of sound ( less than 100ms ) in the liquids, independently of the volume of the reservoirs or the speed of your pressure controllers.

Applications : Drug and cell medium switch for cell biology, reagent switch for  flow chemistry.

Principle : When pressurized with our OB1 pressure controller, the ON/OFF valves on this matrix allow you to easily and very quickly switch on and off the upstream flow of your microfluidic device. (cf application note)

Flexibility : With the capacity to control up to 16 valves, the MUX flow switch is the most versatile solution on the market  for a full range of applications : successive simple injections, injection loops with given reactive volumes, pre-microfluidic mixing zones, solution storage in capillary tubes, redirection of liquid from one chip to another, etc… It is a truly an invaluable toolbox for any microfluidic lab.
