The chip is fabricated using micro-electro-mechanical-systems (MEMS -based techniques and incorporates polydiMEMS -basedane (PDMS) microstechniques pH-sensing electrodes and pneumatincorporatestrol devices.
Through its enhanced microchannel design and use of pneumatic fluid-control devices, the microfluidic chip reduces the dead volume of the sample and increases the pumping rate.
Additionally, the integration of the microfluidic chip with a pneumatic fluid-control device facilitates automatic sample injection and a continuous sensing operation.
Described herein are fluid-flow control devices for transferring a fluid from a place to another and/or controlling a fluid flow.
In some embodiments, fluid-flow control devices described herein can be used as pumping devices to transfer a fluid by peristaltic motion and/or as valve devices to control fluid flow for various applications, e.g., in a microfluidic platform.
The Fluid Power segment engages in the designing, manufacturing and marketing of motion and fluid control systems, principally pneumatic devices, for original equipment manufacturers in commercial vehicle, life science, rail, energy, food and beverage and other industries.
In vibration control field, magneto-rheological (MR) fluid dampers are semi-active control devices that have recently begun to receive more attention.
To control or regulate fluid velocity or fluid flow rate within a horizontal well, flow control devices (FCDs) are implemented (Foster et al. 1987).
In contrast, when the valve is open, the fluid flows freely and disengages the stiffness control devices.
With the evolution of microvalves, fluid control, surface patterning, and chemical gradients, these devices provide the ability to precisely control the microenvironments around neurons while significantly reducing sample volumes.
The presence of flow control devices and/or obstacles in the fluid flow such as baffles and spacers complicates the solid-fluid mixing pattern, which remains difficult to describe by classical analytical solutions.
