The Elveflow microfluidic pressure sensor from Elvesys can be plugged anywhere into a microfluidic set-up in order to record the pressure on computers and control the flow accordingly using Elveflow pressure pumps. The pressure sensors are designed to fit Elveflow microfluidic pressure pumps.

Elveflow’s pressure sensors use the same principle as Gauge pressure sensors, measuring positive and negative pressure relatively to the atmospheric pressure.

These first-rate microfluidic pressure sensors are compatible with both gas and liquids (limited only to media compatible with polyetherimide, silicon and fluorosilicone seals) and with 3/32 ID tubing (Large package version) or 10-32 fittings for 1/16 OD tubing (Small package version).

The small package version has been especially designed for an ultra-small internal volume down to 7.5µL making it well suited for microfluidic applications. With a 20ms settling time, a precise pressure measurement down to 0.2 % full scale, several pressure ranges from 5psi (340m Bar) to 100psi (7 bar) and no dead volume, the microfluidic pressure sensors allow you to obtain a high accuracy flow by measuring and controlling pressure anywhere in your set-up.

The liquid pressure sensors are equipped with an M8 electrical connection and can be used with Microfluidic Sensor Reader (MSR) to monitor pressure in the Elveflow software. The microfluidic pressure sensors can be combined with other Elveflow instruments.
