Liquid handling pack

Our liquid handling pack enables to sequentially inject different liquids.  It contains: a MUX Distribution bidirectional valve which works as a selector, a high accuracy flow controller, and Elveflow’s intuitive ESI control software. 

The pack also contains a manifold to pressurize several reservoirs using a single pressure channel from the OB1 and a flow sensor to monitor and control the flow rate in real-time.

The MUX distribution rotary valve is characterized by:

• Valve flexibility: 12 inlets-1 outlet or 1 inlet-12 outlets
• Easy setup and operation: plug and play software and standard fluidic connection 
• Possibility to choose the sense of rotation

• The versatility of the system in terms of fluids.

If your experiment requires the use of a buffer in large quantities but also expensive reagents in tiny volumes, it is not an issue for our liquid handling pack. You can actually connect tanks with various volumes, from bottle to Eppendorf.

Moreover, there is no restriction concerning the use of liquids as the wetted materials of the system are resistant to aggressive reagents. The flow sensors can also be chosen to work with liquids of different properties. 

Advantages

• Quickly swap your biological media or chemical solutions and inject them thanks to the MUX Distribution valve
• Flow can be tuned to match any requirements (pressure, flow rate, injected volumes)
• Automation of the whole system
• Enables both flow and pressure control when used with a flow sensor
• Possible to handle both small (µL) and large volumes of liquids (Liters)
• Multiple parameters control (volumes, time of injection…) 
• Various options for sample collection
• Works with any liquids (water, oil…)
• Very large flow rate range depending on the flow sensor: from nL/min to mL/min
• Automation and integration
• Scale up: injection of numerous solutions (up to about 150 solutions)
• Customization

Our liquid handling pack can be adapted for more complex and advanced experiments such as using 20 or more solutions, removing bubbles, integration into larger systems or testing multiple chip/devices simultaneously…
