Pressure-driven flow
The Soft-Pumping Bundle is an application example for the use of memetis miniature valves in fluidic systems. The product can control four different fluids in a controlled manner through a microfluidic chip by using a 4i/1o-manifold. The product is particularly useful in life science applications where a continuous and pulsation free flow of different fluids through a cell culture is required.
The Soft-Pumping Bundle contains:
2 x memetis Electrical Control Unit (ECU) + 4 x ECU cable + 2 x USB-cable
4 x liquid reservoir with lid
4 x open lid closure
4 x sealing rings
4 x lid incl. two threads for connectors
4 x IDEX-connector for lid (fluid)
4 x screw connector for lid (pressure)
1 x pressure distributor
5 x Luer-Adapters for pressure distributor
1 x hose for compressed air (2m, OD 3mm)
1 x hose for fluid (2m, OD 1.6mm)
1 x 4i/1o-manifold + 5 x IDEX-connector for hose + 4 memetis NC-valve series 09
1 x frame components
How it works
A pump is connected to the lids of the liquid containers via a pressure distributor to increase the pressure inside. Once the internal pressure exceeds the external pressure, the liquids flow through a tube to the 4i/1o-manifold. Four Normally-Closed (NC) valves (Series09) are mounted on the manifold and can be switched manually or via a graphical user interface. The liquid output of the manifold can now be connected to your experiment, such as a Lab-on-a-chip (not included in delivery), which requires a continuous flow of a nutrient medium.
Features of the programmable version
The electronic control unit (ECU) can be used to control the memetis valves. It has multiple features to ensure an easy start with the memetis miniature valves.
2 output channels with measurement capabilities
Supports self-sensing and error detection
Fully programmable with USB and I2C
Easy-to-use Python library for USB and I2C communication
Can be powered from PC/laptop or external wall plug
Graphical User Interface
To easily work with multiple ECU-P and change the settings of how to control the valves, we offer a free graphical user interface for download.

YOU CAN CHOOSE
BIOCOMPATIBLE
For the biocompatible version of the 4i/1o-adapter we use a special 3D printing material. Due to the standard ISO10993-1 it is neither cytotoxic, nor mutagenic.
