    100 µL/min to 10 mL/min, we recommend the NIFS. This manual will show you how to assemble the NIFS. It will describe the product’s functionalities and will teach you how to connect and...
  • Page 6: General Information

    GENERAL INFORMATION Measure principle The NIFS allows flow rate measurement over the range of 100 µL/min to 10 mL/min. The liquid flow rate delivered is computed from the measurement of the gas flow rate sent to the reservoir. Schematic NIFS setup...

    NIFS DESCRIPTION Contents When purchasing a NIFS [1], you receive one ready-to-use flow sensor with one electric cable (USB-C to USB-A) and an adaptor (USB-A to micro-USB) to connect it to the software. The sensor consists of sensing elements and electronics integrated into a compact case.

    Reservoirs of three volumes are available with the NIFS: 2 mL, 15 mL and 50 mL. In order to function properly, the NIFS requires 15 mL and 50 mL reservoirs with a P-CAP screw (a P-CAP lock is not compatible with the use of the NIFS for these volumes).

    USING THE NIFS WITH PRESSURE CONTROLLERS NIFS & F-OEM If using the Fluigent F-OEM [1], users can directly connect the NIFS to the pressure module using the micro-USB connector [3]. They can also connect the NIFS to the integration board or the computer using the USB-A connector.

    It will be automatically detected (the LED near the USB-C socket becomes green). Precaution: To use a NIFS with a P-OEM, a male luer integral lock ring is required, to adapt the P-OEM outlet tubing to 4 mm OD tubing.

    FLUIGENT SDK AND SOFTWARE (Software Development Kit) The NIFS is fully supported by Fluigent SDK. It has been ported to the most popular programming language within the instrumentation field (LabVIEW, C++, C# .NET, Python, and MATLAB). This SDK merges all Fluigent pressure controllers and sensor instruments and provides an advanced regulation loop.

    First, insert the NIFS between the pressure controller and the reservoir with the correct tubing. Connect the NIFS to the computer for use with the PX, the P-OEM or the F-OEM, or directly connect it to the F-OEM. The NIFS is now ready for your application.
  • Page 13: Using The Bypass Valve

    START WORKING Using the bypass valve When air flows in the NIFS, it can go through two paths. One has a sensor that measures the air flow rate and the other has a bypass valve. If pressure is applied, the sensor reduces the passage of air, which increases the response time.
