  • Page 3: Introduction

    Technology principle The Flow Unit, integrated to the FRP, enables flow-rate measurements, in a wide range of flow-rates thanks to the five (5) models: XS, S, M, L, XL. The Flow Rate Platform provides a solution for measuring and/ The flow-rate acquisition is based on a thermal technology. A heating or controlling flow-rates for any fluidic applications.

The aim of this FASTABTM technology is to pressurize a reservoir containing the fluid of interest The list of materials needed to reproduce the experiment is given to be injected through the microfluidic system.
  • Page 14: Cleaning Procedure

    DUAL CALIBRATION CLEANING PROCEDURE Consequently, when working around 100 μl/min (target flow-rate), you have to add the scale factor of 4.68 so that the measurement of the sensor corresponds to the actual flow-rate for HFE. FLOW UNIT models are highly sensitive and should be properly cleaned to always maintain high performance.
  • Page 15: Procedure

    For Flow Unit XS and S, fluids have to be compatible with PEEK & If possible, dedicate a separate sensor for each different liquid to be Quartz glass. For Flow Unit M, L and XL, fluids have to be compatible measured.
