MUX CROSS CHIP

Multiplexer flow matrix

4 inputs to 4 outputs microfluidic valve matrices

4 x 4 Microfluidic Valve System

Unique valve system for maximum flexibility

Stop Flow Enabler

Complete equilibrium & stop flow in 100ms

Easy to Use

Plug and Play valve system with easy software

Features & Benefits

The MUX Cross Chip is a matrix of 4 x 4 valves. Connect any of the 4 inputs with any of the 4 outputs and open/close the valves using the software.

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 performance and reproducible results like never before!

Low volume injection

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) into your microfluidic chip.

Other instrument highlights include:

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
Complete equilibrium & stop flow in 100ms
Internal/external trigger

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 Cross Chip configuration
Sequence the execution of the Cross Chip with other Elveflow’s instruments using the intuitive scheduler
Synchronize the Cross Chip with other Elveflow or third party instruments using the device’s external/internal TTL triggers
