Single channel pressure controller module with a range from 0 to 5 bar

Talk to an expert

Compact design

Pressure control and integrated sensor connection for half the size of the Pressure Controller

Versatile pressure management

One pressure range from 0 to 5 bar that meets a wide variety of needs

Optimized automation capabilities

Save time and effort thanks to sequence programming and compatibility with any serial controllers

The Advanced Pressure Controller Lite is a single and compact channel pressure regulator. If your experiment requires robust and reliable pressure control with low air consumption, this is the instrument for you. It will also perfectly fit in size-optimized configurations.

The Advanced Pressure Controller Lite can read an analog or digital sensor. It can run a feedback loop with that sensor. It can run basic waveforms and even have custom ones.

Its compact form factor, its robust casing and its fixation points make it ideal for mechanical integration.

Its high speed serial connection is compatible with both any serial controllers and the Advanced Control Center for large and complex microfluidic systems.

FAQ

How does Elveflow help you develop effective experimental prototypes?

For the prototyping stage, you can either benefit from our off-the-shelf instruments or directly from the Advanced range. We also provide fluidic expertise to fully characterize your system and find the optimal fluidic design for it. To help you start working with our instruments, we also developed a full training service offer.

Can the module be easily integrated into a more complete prototype?

Installation of the Advanced Pressure Controller Lite in a more complete prototype is facilitated thanks to its own fixation points. The module can then be held in position and no preferred mounting orientation is necessary, ensuring a high degree of freedom.

To help integrate the entire Advanced range, the modules only have two form factors. Hence, the integration is neater as all the modules can be stacked up in an optimal way. The Advanced Assembly kit, provided as an option, can also smooth the mechanical integration as it includes brackets to help the assembly.

Does Elveflow provide support?

We provide you with support from our team of experts throughout your project, either with documentation available for free on our website or through direct contact, not only with the Advanced range but with all our product range. We also offer a range of experimental training courses in microfluidics and microfabrication. For integration purposes, we offer an introduction to UART communication protocols and SDK. We prefer to see our relationship as a collaboration, where as a client you can benefit from our expertise.

How do I choose between a Pressure Controller and a Pressure Controller Lite?

The Advanced Pressure Controller Lite is the perfect tool if you perform long term and stable experiments in a limited space with low air consumption. On the contrary, the Advanced Pressure Controller is the best tool designed to run experiments requesting complex pressure profiles and optimum flow control. So depending on your needs, Elveflow has the right tool for you!
