Microfluidic benchtop pump applications
Thanks to its outstanding capabilities, this benchtop pump has various applications in biotechnology research, analytical chemistry, biomedicine, and environment.
A self-powered microfluidic pressure pump
- Point-of-care diagnostics: This benchtop pump does not require external pressure or power sources. It finds applications in point-of-care diagnostics, where rapid and portable diagnostic tests are needed. This solution enables precise control of fluid flow in microscale channels for sample preparation, analyte detection, and result readout, making it suitable for use in resource-limited settings or areas with limited access to electricity.
- Environmental monitoring: This portable solution can autonomously drive fluid through microchannels to transport samples or reagents for analysis, making it ideal for remote or field-based applications: analyzing water quality, air pollution, or soil contamination.
Noiseless and vibration-free microfluidic pump
- Microscale cell and tissue culture: This microfluidic pressure pump does not produce noise or vibrations and can provide controlled fluid flow for maintaining cell cultures, microscale organ-on-a-chip systems, or tissue engineering constructs without causing any disturbance to the delicate biological samples.
- Microscale optics and photonics: This autonomous microfluidic pump could be employed to control fluid flow for optical tuning, switching, or modulation, where noise or vibrations could impact the performance of the optical components. This concerns various optics and photonics applications, such as microscale optical waveguides, microscale lenses, or microscale spectrometers.
- Microscale chemical and biochemical analysis: Microfluidic systems are commonly used for chemical and biochemical analysis, such as chromatography, electrophoresis, or immunoassays. This microfluidic pressure controller provides precise fluidic control for these analytical processes, ensuring accurate results without interference from noise-induced artifacts or vibrations.
