The chapter then introduces fabrication techniques and sketches microfluidic components for flow control, pumping, physical sensing, and dispensing and their applications in (bio-) analytical chemistry, drug discovery, and chemical process engineering.
By using such actuation, we can perform several microfluidic functions such as flow control, sorting, pumping, and cell loading as shown in Figure 1(b).
The Roseland, N.J., outfit, which traces its ancestry back to the Wright brothers, specializes in three areas: flow control (valves, pumps and so on), metallurgy and sensors, and computer systems used in takeoff and landing.
Nasa said last week that it suspected a malfunction had affected a flow control valve inside the pump itself.
The repair is required after a flow control value inside the pump module malfunctioned Dec. 11, resulting in limiting the space station to just half of its cooling system.
This system allows monitoring of ionic components of PM2.5 along with several gaseous components with automatic flow control by a vacuum pump.
Trypsin digested peptides were separated using an Ultimate U3000 (Dionex Corporation) nanoflow LC-system consisting of a solvent degasser, micro and nanoflow pumps, flow control module, UV detector and a thermostated autosampler.
So the Curtiss-Wright Flow Control Company is building sealed pumps that are supposed to run maintenance-free for 60 years.
In the present paper, design of a flow control loop using a thyristor driven pump as final control element has been described.
To reduce the total pressure drop of the cooling system, the flow rate of liquid nitrogen must be controlled by rotational speed of the circulation pump as the flow control valve opens over 45%.
Flow control was accomplished using a syringe pump, and platelet suspensions were introduced onto the device through Teflon tubing.
