Core philosophy of Bronkhorst is to form close working links and collaborations with Original Equipment Manufacturers to ensure optimised integration of the instruments. Most often this results in a bespoke design in which various functions are combined into one micro fluidic system. The IQ+FLOW concept offers these functional modules: flow meter, pressure meter, control valve, shut-off valve, three-way valve, mixing chamber, filter.
A combination of modules can be mounted on a compact manifold, in line with a customers requirement, and following open design discussions. The ”plug and play” assembly ensures space efficiency, cost reduction and a minimum of potential leak points. Example of typical application: flow/pressure control in Gas Chromatography systems.
Benefits of IQ+FLOW Manifold Flow / Pressure Control
Ultra-compact assembly ensures space efficiency
Reduction of wetted surface area
Economical solution, low cost of ownership
Combination of functions on one manifold (i.e. tubeless construction) reduces potential leak points
Modular construction enables easy exchange of functional modules
Pre-tested "Plug and Play" units, reducing custom testing requirements
