Sensor Integration Chip - Turning valve sensor platform II Fluidic 1156

The Sensor Integration Chip - Turning valve sensor platform II Fluidic 1156 is a versatile and compact fluidic device designed to mount sensors (up to 11.5 mm x 10.5 mm) within a microfluidic system. It features six selectable inlets and one outlet for efficient volume selection and channel routing. This platform allows for flexible experimental setups by enabling multiple channel switching in a single chip, ensuring optimal volume control, and supporting bubbles elimination through its integrated trap.

General

The turning valve sensor platform belongs to our sensor integration chip family. Fluidic 1156 allows mounting a sensor with maximum dimensions of 11.5 mm x 10.5 mm in a prepared cavity with six switchable inlets and one outlet. The channels have dimensions of 400 µm width and 150 µm depth. Fluidic 1156 features an additional bubble trap upstream of the sensor integration chamber to avoid bubbles disturbing the measurements. The valve can be operated with the manual turning valve actuator or the ChipGenie TV instrument. The sensor can be mounted via a double-sided adhesive tape gasket, which is 140 µm thick. Fluidic 673 can be combined with a double-sided adhesive tape in the shape of a rhombic chamber (Fluidic 1053) or straight channel (Fluidic 1052). The double-sided adhesive tape is not included with this product and needs to be ordered separately. Watch this video for more information on assembling your sensor integration chip:

Features & Benefits

• Multiple Inlet Channels: Six switchable inlets allow for easy switching and flexibility in routing fluids for diverse applications and experiments.
• Bubble Trap Integration: An upstream bubble trap minimizes measurement disruptions by removing air bubbles before entering the sensor chamber.
• Manual or Automated Operation: The chip is compatible with both manual turning valve actuators and the ChipGenie TV instrument, providing flexibility in operation strategies.
• High Compatibility: Accepts various sensor sizes up to 11.5 mm x 10.5 mm, offering broad flexibility for sensor selection.
• Reliable Chip Mounting: Ensures precise and stable sensor integration using a double-sided adhesive tape gasket (not included).
• Transparent Body: Clear material allows easy visual inspection for setup validation and troubleshooting.

The Sensor Integration Chip - Turning valve sensor platform II Fluidic 1156 is designed for researchers and engineers who demand flexible integration of sensors within microfluidic workflows. Its selection of six channel inlets, combined with clear, precision-manufactured channels, makes it suitable for a range of analytical and fluidic measurement tasks.
The robust integration of a bubble trap upstream from the sensor zone minimizes the risk of measurement error due to air entrapment, supporting stable and repeatable results. The platform can be adapted to unique configurations or used with standard actuator tools, enhancing its utility across research setups or diagnostics.
With its support for mounting sensors via easily applied adhesive gaskets, it reduces setup complexity and risk of contamination. This chip streamlines experiments that require multi-path fluid switching, fast reconfiguration, and simple visualization.

Applications

This chip is ideal for microfluidic sensor integration tasks in academic, industrial, or clinical laboratory settings, especially where quick switching between multiple fluidic inputs is required.

• Sensor calibration experiments
• High-throughput sample analysis
• Multi-reagent delivery and reaction studies
