Change flow instantaneously : microfluidic flow multiplexer

ELVEFLOW USB flow multiplexer enables fast switching of flow in capillary and microfluidic system ( patent pending ). The fluidic multiplexer enables to switch pressure driven flow from 4 inlets to 4 outlets. The flow multiplexer enables programmable flow switch on your device using Matlab, LabView and/or ELVEFLOW software. MORE INFORMATION

I ) Nanofluidics, microfluidics and milli-fluidics

“Nanofluidics is the study of the behavior, manipulation, and control of fluids that are confined to structures of nanometer (typically 1-100 nm) characteristic dimensions (1 nm = 10-9 m). Fluids confined in these structures exhibit physical behaviors not observed in larger structures, such as those of micrometer dimensions and above, because the characteristic physical scaling lengths of the fluid, (e.g. Debye length, hydrodynamic radius) very closely coincide with the dimensions of the nanostructure itself.” (1: Wikipedia nanofluidic)

“Microfluidic devices are characterized by channels with diameters ranging roughly between 100 nm and 100 microns, often involving particles with diameters ranging roughly from 10 nm to 10 microns. At these length scales, the Reynolds number is low and the flow is usually laminar, but the mass transfer Peclet number is often large, leading to unique microfluidic mixing regimes.” (2: microfluidic kirby and wikipedia microfluidic )

Milli-fluidics is referred for system using flows in capillaries showing an internal cross section above 1mm. The limit of millifluidics with conventional fluidics is when the Reynolds number approaches the value 1 where turbulence cannot be neglected anymore.
