The FLEXI-FLOW concept offers the option of built-to-order designs for OEM customers, in which various multiple channels Mass Flow & Pressure Meters/Controllers are combined into one microfluidic system. The following functional modules can be configured into one compact sub-system: mass flow meter or controller, pressure meter or controller, shut-off valve, mixing chamber. Such a ”plug and perform” assembly ensures space efficiency, cost reduction and a minimum of potential leak points.
Example of typical application: bioprocessing gas supply, flow/pressure control in analytical systems, leak testing of fuel cell stacks.
FLEXI-FLOW Multi-Channel MFC Benefits
Very compact assembly ensures space efficiency
Economical solution, low cost of ownership
Combination of functions on one bespoke assembly (i.e. tubeless construction) reduces potential leak points
Pre-tested "Plug and Play" units, reducing custom testing requirements
Multi-bus communication interface by gateway (Ethernet, CAN and Serial)
Applications
The FLEXI-FLOW Series has great potential in many different markets, for instance in:
Bioprocessing systems
Analytical applications
Fuel cell stack leak testing
Reactive sputtering
