Features & benefits

With this matrix of 3:2 valves, you can simply choose when to put your PDMS bilayer valve under pressure. When fed by our OB1 MK3+ pressure controller, the 0.005% stability enables fine control and stable valve position.

Complex Flow Patterns

Our profile editor will allow you to easily program subtle valve patterns and to repeat a set of steps in a loop to automate the most sophisticated protocols.

Setup Synchronization

The MUX Quake offers input/output TTL triggers set to easily synchronize your instrument with any Elveflow® device, microscopes or mechanical shutter. Thus, you can have a full control of all the devices involved in your microfluidic experiment

Other instrument highlights include:

Plug & play programmable valve sequence
Fast valve switching (20 ms)
Fine valve position tuning (when coupled with the OB1 MK3+ pressure controller)
Flexible: control up to 256 valves by using several MUX Quakes

Mux flow switch technical specifications Elveflow Microfluidics

• One Trigger IN and one Trigger OUT TTL output.

ESI is Elveflow’s advanced software interface that is built to make every experimenter’s life better. It is perfectly adapted from simple setups to very advanced setup and workflow automation. It integrates several modules that make time-consuming and painful tasks very simple. Elveflow also provides Software Development Kit (SDK) libraries to integrate Elveflow systems using your own code.

ADD your instrument

Configure your instrument with just a click

Automate your setup and communicate with other instruments using the ESI sequencer

Using the ESI interface, you can perform multiple automation functions such as:
– Save the Quake Valve configuration
– Sequence the execution of the Quake Valve with other Elveflow’s instruments using the intuitive scheduler
– Synchronize the Quake Valve with other Elveflow or third party instruments using the device’s external/internal TTL triggers
