SERVICING & WARRANTY service schedule warranty terms The diameter of the FLOW UNIT XS capillary is small: 25 µm. Filter your solution, if possible add a filter in the fluidic path and clean the FLOW UNIT XS after each use.
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.

Here is an example using Flow EZ™, a fast and stable pressure-based flow controller delivered by FLUIGENT. 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.
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.
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.
If uncertain about your application and how to clean the flow sensor, please contact FLUIGENT for additional support at support@fluigent. Strong acids and bases should also not be used to clean the sensor. Acids com.
- Filter your solution, if possible add a filter in the fluidic path (§ 10) and clean your FLOW UNIT after each use, especially the FLOW UNIT XS (cf § 4.3). The diameter of the FLOW UNIT XS capillary is small: 25 µm. Fluigent rejects any What This Warranty Covers liability in the event of clogging or surface modifications.
