Dolomite, a world leader in microfluidic
design and manufacture, has introduced the Mitos Sensor Units to provide a
flexible system for measuring and displaying pressure and flow rates in
microfluidic systems. With a real-time display and low internal volumes, each
sensor is designed to minimise interference with the liquid flow. All data is
clearly displayed on the Mitos Sensor Display unit, which interfaces with each
of the sensor units using a simple push-and-click action. Comprising of five flow
rate sensors and one pressure sensor (-0.5 to 30 bar), the complete range is
fully interchangeable and each device can run stand-alone or integrated with a
Mitos P-Pump for the efficient logging of flow rate output. All data is easily
transferrable to a PC for further analysis via USB.
Ongoing enhancements to the system will
soon enable the flow rate sensors to communicate with the Mitos P-Pump to
create a closed loop pumping system. This will enable the user to automatically
control flow rates using pressure, providing the ultimate in smooth liquid
flow.
