Multichannel Pneumatic Precision Pump

Description
A turn-key modular pressure control system for actuation and transport of gases and fluids in miniature/micro-size channels and volumes.

Application Areas
Microfluidics, chemical and biochemical analytics, Diagnostic assays, biological cell culturing and handling, chemical synthesis, and others.

Features

  • Up to 5 individually and independently controllable pressure channels, no external pumps needed
  • Positive pressure 0 to +500 mbar
  • Negative pressure (vacuum) 0 to -350 mbar
  • Additional external manifold with up to 6 individual switchable output pressure channels, toggling between any two pressure channels
  • SMC one touch connectors with 1.2 mm tubing
  • Integrated macro language for multichannel pressure program generation
  • Measurement/automation integration with external instruments via external I/O channels or the network- VXI-11 protocol, fully controllable through the macro language

Control Options

  1. On instrument: Encoder wheel/push button & 1.8” front color display.
    – No software installation required.
    – No external computer required.
  2. Remote securely via WLAN or LAN with any common smartphone (iphone, android…) or personal computer.
    Pure HTML/Javascript/CSS WEBgui (No software installation required).
  3. Remote securely through the internet

Application Examples

  • Driving of flow in microfluidic devices and circuitry, for example sample processing, or in-liquid sensing
  • Characteristics: low pulsation, continuous, uninterrupted pressure-driven flow control, high quality supply in comparison to peristaltic and syringe pumps)
  • Actuation of peristaltic devices in soft robotics
  • Micro-Perfusion systems and flow cells
  • Droplets generation
  • Organic/polymer syntheses drug transportation
  • Automatic reagent distribution
  • Cell culture and sequential injection of reagents
  • Microfluidics & organs on chip
  • Other microfluidics applications to manipulate fluids

Designed for greenness and sustainability
High reliability and user friendliness due to modular design.
NO DOWN TIME: All components can be quickly and easily exchanged and replaced by the user.
