Dolomite, a world leader in the design and manufacture of microfluidic devices, has introduced Multiflux™, a unique
and flexible range of microfluidic connectors and interfaces allowing
users to integrate their microfluidic devices into new and existing
systems by creating fast and reliable multi-way fluidic connections
between pumps, valves and other microfluidic devices.
Fluidic
systems for manipulation, analysis and control of small amounts of
materials are becoming increasingly sophisticated. This trend is
accelerating with every new microfluidic development. At
present, most connectors allow the connection of only one fluid tube to
a microfluidic system at a time. Furthermore, connecting microfluidic
devices to macro-scale systems presents many challenges. If these are
not addressed well, the benefits of working within the microfluidic
regime may be compromised. Multiflux
TM is Dolomite's solution to these problems. Quick
and easy to use, Multiflux
TM offers a flexible, cost-effective and
time-efficient solution for anyone working in microfluidics.
The
range includes a Linear and Circular Connector, which provide several
fluid input and output ports, enabling reliable and leak-free
connections to be made in seconds between microfluidic chips and tubing,
as well as two bundles of tubing, without disruptions to the fluid
flow. The Multiflux
TM Connectors can be used together with Dolomite's
microfluidic chips and Standard Multiflux
TM Interfaces facilitating a
connection to the edge of microfluidic chips, surface of microfluidic
chips, or custom devices designed by the user.
All
Multiflux
TM components operate over a wide temperature range (-15°C to
150°C) and pressure range (up to 30bar) and offer excellent chemical
resistance allowing a broad range of solvents and chemicals to be used.
