Features
11-port/10-position
The Fluigent M-X is an 11-port / 10-position rotary valve. Any of the peripheral ports (numbered from 1 to 10) can be connected to the central channel, and the fluidic path created is bidirectional. The MX is actuated by a motor that drives a rotor. It can also be used with a manifold to use a single pressure pump to deliver multiple liquids.
Sequential injections
Up to 10 liquids can be sequentially delivered. Each step can be automated using Fluigent software.
Automation
The valve can be controlled by our software for long-term experiments. Create a time-based protocol to set actuation timing of the valve(s).
Example 1: sequential injection of several fluids
In this application example, up to 10 liquids (4 on the schematic) are selected sequentially to be delivered to the chip by the M-X. The samples at the outlet of the chip may also be sorted by using a bidirectional valve either into a collection tube or to waste.
Example 2: Sample generation and collection
In this application example, different concentrations of the molecule of interest are injected into the chip generating water in oil droplets containing various concentrations.
