HIGHLIGHTS

Elveflow products are thought to be easy to use nevertheless versatile to answer the wideness of the applications microfluidics can be used for. Moreover we know our users come from all disciplines and have more or less backgrounds in microfluidics. That’s why we provide tailored training for each specific case. 

Do not hesitate to talk to our experts to know more and define the best support you want.

We basically have two kinds of training, on site or on remote to fit your needs and budgets.

Remote Training

Level 1: Tutorial Kit (2 hours) (with the off-the-shelf or OEM range)

This training is perfect if you are new in the microfluidic world as our experts will help you discover the principles of microfluidics. They will also guide you to familiarize yourself with the Elveflow pressure controller (OB1 or OEM pressure controller) and flow sensors. We recommend this 2-hour course, perfect for learning how to set up flow control.

During this course, you will learn:

  • How to install and connect the Elveflow equipment
  • How to use our ESI software to command the instrument 
  • How to set-up a simple fluidic experiment: one inlet/ one outlet set-up with a flow sensor.
  • The A.B.C of the microfluidic flow laws (what is a flow resistance, what is a fluidic resistance, how to understand the fluid behavior…)
  • How to control in pressure but also in flow rate by doing a feedback loop
  • How to improve a set-up to get more precise and stable flow
  • How to choose the right accessories and parameters to fit your needs
  • How to clean and tidy the instruments
  • A lot of tips and tricks that will help you becoming more efficient

Level 2: Setup Installation (2 hours)

You already know the basics of microfluidics, are familiar with the OB1 pressure controller and the flow sensor, and master the flow rate control. However, you are using other Elveflow equipment and would like an introduction to install and use them quickly. We can assist you to set up your equipment and answer all your questions. With this training, no more waste of time, you can start your experiment in no time.   

Do you want the ESI software to hold no secrets for you? Do you want to know all the features and be able to use it to best effect? This training is for you! 

You will learn: 

  • How to connect all the Elveflow instruments to the software
  • How to control the different instruments you have individually
  • How to automate your set up through the ESI sequencer
  • The different functionalities of automation for each instrument
  • A lot of tips and tricks 
  • Optional: get a full introduction of the OEM part of the software (you need to have the OEM range for that) 

Level 3: Application (1 hours) 

You already know the Elveflow equipment, how they work and how to control them through the ESI software but you wish to exchange information about your application and need advice to reach your goals. Elveflow gathers numerous microfluidics experts with different backgrounds that can help you to improve your set-up and your experiments. 

 Level 4:  Integration Training (2 hours)

UART training: Choose this 2-hour course to familiarize yourself with the UART communication protocols that govern the use of our industrial modular range. If you plan on integrating the range to a complex system and are not familiar with UART protocols, we advise you to take this course, in order to discover all the tips in terms of communication.  

During this course, you will learn: 

  • The architecture of the OEM range 
  • How to communicate with the control center and the different modules
  • How the communication protocols are organized
  • What are the main features and functions of the communication 

In the second part of the course, with the help of our trainers, you will apply your knowledge to an applied example. 

SDK training: Choose this 2-hour course to familiarize yourself with the SDK. If you plan on integrating the Elveflow range to a complex system and are not familiar with SDK, we advise you to take this course, in order to discover all our tips concerning programming.  

During this course, you will learn: 

  • How to communicate with the different Elveflow instruments
  • How the SDK is organized
  • What are the main features and functions of the SDK

In the second part of the course, with the help of our trainers, you will apply your knowledge to an applied example. 

Level 5: Consultancy (by 1 hour)

  • Expertise in mechanical engineering: when integrating our instruments in your system, we can offer to check your CAD files 
  • Expertise in microfluidics: we can offer to check the microfluidic system you plan on using, developing.  
  • Expertise in firmware / software: we can help you develop and check some code when using our SDK or UART protocols.  

ON-Site Training

1. Microfluidic Training

On Site installation (1 to 5 days)

If you prefer to get an onsite training to get the benefit of our experts for a long time directly working with your team it’s possible too. Depending on the location of your facility a minimum of 2 days of training will be required to validate the offer. Apart from this we can adjust the time and the program to your specific needs. During the onsite training any of the training levels can be realized, we can also work more deeply on your application of course without being committed to results.

2. Microfabrication Training

On-site installation (2 to 5 days)

This service is for microfabrication offers, it’s usually one week to do:

  • Installation and verification of the equipment. 
  • Training on each equipment and on the global microfabrication process. 
  • An introduction to microfluidics is also performed.
What is the difference between on-site and remote training?
