ELVEFLOW's pressure & flow sensors
MONITOR THE MEASUREMENT OF ALL YOUR MICROFLUIDIC SENSORS
Connect pressure and flow sensors wherever you want in the setup to closely monitor your microfluidic experiment.
The Sensor Reader module allows you to control 4 sensors simultaneously. Additionally, our software allows controlling several Sensor Readers simultaneously.
The MSR is the ideal supplement to the OB1 flow controller should you need high control over your experimental parameters.

Benefit in an optimal manner from the performance of Elveflow® Sensors with the Sensor Reader acquisition interface. The open interface Sensor Reader also allows you to use third-party sensors.
Fast and precise
With an acquisition sampling rate of up to 200 Hz and an 16 bit resolution, the Sensor Reader allows you to easily conduct experiments involving monitoring or controlling a physical parameter with analog and digital sensors in real time.
Wide sensors compatibility
See Elveflow® fully compatible pressure sensor & flow sensor below
Noise reduction
An embedded analog 60 Hz low pass filter function can be activated on each channel independently to reduce sensor noise.
PERFORMANCE
Our Sensor Reader achieves an 16 bits resolution at up to 200 Hz sampling rate and a sub-resolution noise, for accuracy levels on your sensor measurements down to 0.05% of the full scale and a response time down to 5 ms.
Sampling rate up to 200 Hz
Resolution :from 9 to 16 bits
Input range : 0 – 10 V
Fully compatible with other Elveflow instruments
Measurement noise below resolution
Noise reduction function with a 3rd order 60 Hz low-pass filter

ESI is Elveflow’s more advanced software interface, built to make experimenter’s life better. It is perfectly adapted, from simple setups control to very advanced setups and workflows automation. It embarks several modules that make time-consuming and painful tasks so simple. It comes with SDK libraries to control the Elveflow system with your own code (C++, Python, MATLAB®, LabVIEW®)

FAQ
1. ELVEFLOW’S SINGLE SOFTWARE (ESI)
Monitor and automate your setup using our ESI software that allows you to measure, control and automate your experiment using only one interface.
2. FLOW SENSOR (MFS) OR PRESSURE SENSOR (MPS)
Place the sensors anywhere you want on your fluidic path and electrically connect your sensors to the Microfluidic Sensor Reader.
Thanks to their small footprint, sensors can be placed anywhere within your fluidic system.
3. MICROFLUIDIC SENSOR READER (MSR)
Connect the sensor reader to your computer via USB and monitor it using the Elveflow® Smart Interface
4. CHIP / CAPILLARY
Add you chip to complete the standard setup. In this position, the sensor directly measures the pressure entering the microfluidic chip. You can add another pressure sensor at the chip outlet in order to get the difference in pressure and/or the microfluidic resistance.
