Unibloc - Model 53B - Bubble Trap - Brochure

A bubble trap is a device that removes air bubbles from aqueous solutions inline or downstream in a fluidic system. Unfortunately, air bubbles in the fluidic flow can cause significant problems for applications because the bubbles unexpectedly change the intrinsic physical properties of the microfluidic environment. This change can increase the internal pressure abruptly in a fluidic/microfluidic system. It may lead to sudden shear force variations, which change the compliance of the system or even blocks small channels.
