Need to measure flow rate at 1 μl/min and lower?

Your experimental requirement: You would like to add flow to your cells in culture, but not too much.

We hear you! Flow is an important physico-mechanical stimulus that can add physiological relevance to in vitro cell models. But cells are sensitive to different flow rates, flow regimes and shear stress. Thus, many applications require careful control of low flow rates.

For stable flow at 1 μl/min, down to as low as 0.5 μl/min (that’s 30 μl/h!), we’ve got you covered! Our new Galileo flow sensor can measure flow rates independent of pump type and control flow rates via a feedback loop with a pressure-driven flow controller. Stay tuned for our upcoming technical specification sheet!

What flow rate (low or high) is ideal for your experiment? Let us know at innovation@microfluidic.fr.
