The Pressure Driven Flow Control Kit provides accurate and reproducible flow control by combining pressure-driven actuation with real-time flow measurement. Its integrated components support stable operation, low pulsation, and reduced maintenance requirements.
The kit contains BP7 Tubing pumps, the mp-Multiboard2 controller, the mp-Driver pump driver, a flow sensor, the FluidControl Plus software license, and various accessories.
General
The Pressure Driven Flow Control Kit is designed for precise and repeatable flow-rate control in microfluidic and fluidic systems. Instead of pumping liquid directly, the system uses pressure-driven actuation combined with real-time feedback from an integrated flow sensor. This approach helps reduce contamination, improves flow stability, and supports reliable operation in laboratory and mobile setups.
Closed-loop control allows the flow rate to be continuously adjusted based on live sensor feedback. The system can be controlled through FluidControl Plus and Bartels Fluidic Studio, enabling users to regulate pump performance with an easy-to-use PID controller. This makes the kit well-suited for applications where consistent and reproducible flow conditions are required.
The pressure-driven setup reduces direct liquid contact with active components. As the pump operates with air only, pump lifetime can be extended and cleaning is simplified. Only the flow sensor is in contact with the fluid, which reduces the number of contaminated components and helps maintain cleaner operation.
An optimized pressure volume, combined with the included pulsation damper, helps reduce pulsation and supports stable flow behavior. The system is self-sustaining and does not require an external pressure supply, making it suitable for compact, mobile and integrated fluidic platforms.
This kit is especially useful for:
- dosing applications requiring controlled and reproducible flow rates,
- perfusion systems requiring stable flow conditions,
- microfluidic setups and lab-on-a-chip systems,
- process control applications with consistent flow requirements,
- mobile analytical systems and compact laboratory instruments.
