FRP - Flow-Rate Platform

FRP:FLOW-RATE PLATFORMFluigent Flow-Rate Platform is a unique tool to easily measure all the flow-rates in your fluidic system with the best precisionCompatible with any flow controllerEasy to set-up and useHigh precisionTunable to your liquidswhen you need itThe FLOW UNITS have been designed to be used close to your device with any type of flow controller from pressure regulators to syringe and peristaltic pumps to best suit to your own applications.USABLE WITH ANY FLOW CONTROL SYSTEMfor various flow-rate rangesThe di?erent FLOW UNIT models o?er an extensive choice of flow-rate ranges to best match your required precision, from 8 nL/min to 5 mL/min. GET THE BEST PRECISIONfor a large panel of liquidsA scale factor can be added to your measurements when handling other fluids than the liquid for which the flow sensor is calibrated with. For oils and hydrocar-bons, a second calibration with isopropyl alcohol is available on the FLOW UNIT models M and L.TUNE YOUR MEASUREMENTSto your own specific applicationAny number of FLOW UNITS with any flow-rate ranges can be mixed on your application.A single hub (FLOWBOARD) can host up to 8 FLOW UNITS and communicate with FLUIGENT software.ADAPT YOUR FLOW-RATE PLATFORM*The flow-rate can also be controlled with the Flow-Rate Control Module, contact FLUIGENT for further information.FLOW UNIT : High-precision individual flow sensorA bidirectionnal flow sensor interfaced with our software. Five models with di?erent ranges are available, among which two models with dual calibration (water/isopropyl alcohol).FLOWBOARD : Communication hubA hub managing the communication between FLUIGENT software and up to 8 FLOW UNITS of any ranges and calibrations.Computer connection and power supply with a single USB plug.SUBJECT TO MODIFICATIONS WITHOUT NOTICE || MARCH 2014: @FLUIGENTFOR ANY FURTHER INQUIRY, PLEASE CONTACT US AT: FLUIGENT SA || WWW.FLUIGENT.COM || CONTACT@FLUIGENT.COM || +33 1 77 01 82 68CHECK YOUR EXPERIMENTat all timesFlow-rate measurements (bidirectionnal) for all FLOW UNITS are displayed in FLUIGENT software. A special tool also computes the volumes of liquid flowed through every FLOW UNIT. The provided software enables you to check your system at a glance*.FLOW-RATE MEASUREMENTSThe flow sensors in the FLOW UNITS include 2 di?erent parts:The flow-rate is then calculated based on the spread of heat, information which is directly related to the flow-rate. • A micro heater providing a minimal amount of heat to the medium monitored• 2 temperature sensors, located on both sides of the heater, detecting any temperature variation.MEASUREMENTS ONLYDi?erent liquids are injected simultaneously or separetely by the flow controllers and mixed in the micro- or milli-reaction chamber. The flow-rates are measured by the FLOW UNITS and displayed in the FRP-Soft Front Panel.• Chemical synthesis• Kinetic measurements• Nanoparticles nucleation• Solubility diagrams• Biological analysisSUBJECT TO MODIFICATIONS WITHOUT NOTICE || MARCH 2014: @FLUIGENTFOR ANY FURTHER INQUIRY, PLEASE CONTACT US AT: FLUIGENT SA || WWW.FLUIGENT.COM || CONTACT@FLUIGENT.COM || +33 1 77 01 82 68FLOWBOARDSolution 1Solution 2Solution 3Reagent 1Any kind of flow controllerReagent 2Any kind of flow controllerReagent 3Any kind of flow controllerReactionchamberFLOW UNITSFlow-rateFlow-Rate PlatformFLOW UNITSFlow-Rate PlatformFLOW UNITSFlow-Rate PlatformFLOW UNITS• Fluidic flow-rate measurements• Kinetic measurements• Nanoparticles nucleation• Analytical chemistry• Biological applications• Beads manipulation• Droplets• Organ on chipMEASUREMENTS AND CONTROLUp to four di?erent liquids are injected within the fluidic set-up by the MFCSTM-EZ (pressure and/or flow-rate control). The measured flow-rates and pressures are displayed in the MAESFLOTM. Thus knowing all flow-rates and pressures within the system is a powerful tool for set-up characterization. • Cell analysis• Droplet generation• Biological analysis• Beads manipulation• Chemical analysisReactionchamberRegulatedPressureRegulatedflow-rateReservoirs (Fluiwell)FLOW UNITSFLOWBOARDMFCS-EZFlow-Rate PlatformFLOW UNITSFlow-Rate PlatformFLOW UNITSFlow-Rate PlatformFLOW UNITSFlow-Rate PlatformFLOW UNITS>10%0.5mL/min 10mL/minOil*20%ModelXSSMLXLFlow-rate1nL/min3.7nL/min 70nL/min 1.5µL/minWater10nL/min 100nL/min 1µL/min 10µL/min 100µL/min 1mL/min 10mL/min10nL/min 400nL/min 7µL/minWater10%5%60nL/min 2µL/min 80µL/minWater5%>5%0.7µL/min 30µL/min 1mL/minWater5%>5%25µL/min 500µL/minOil*20%1µL/min 70µL/minOil*20%3µL/min>5%0.2mL/min 5mL/minWater5%>5%5%>5% : Accuracy* Calibration IPATECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONSSOME APPLICATIONS FOR THE FLOW-RATE PLATFORMFLOW UNIT XS S M L XLSensor inner diameter 25 µm 150 µm 430 µm 1.0 mm 1.8 mmOver pressure resistance 200 bar 200 bar 100 bar 12 bar 5 barWetted materialsPEEK & Quartz GlassPEEK & Quartz GlassPEEK & Quartz GlassPEEK & Borosilicate GlassPEEK & Borosilicate GlassCombined with our pressure controller (MFCSTM-EZ), FRP will allow you to control flow-rates with all the benefits of pressure actuation thanks to the Flow-Rate Control Module.
