Control all instruments through the same interface
Get started within seconds
Automate long and complex protocols thanks to our powerful scheduler
C++, MATLAB, Python and LabVIEW libraries available
One software for all instruments The ESI can control up to 16 Instruments ( OB1 pressure controller , flow rate and pressure sensors , sets of valves and valves controller ) via the same interface. Thanks to the TTL triggers, you can synchronize your Elveflow® system with any other instrument in your laboratory (from microscopes to any electrical instrument, and more). Intuitive interface The intuitive interface of the ESI microfluidic software facilitates navigation from one instrument to another. Start from simple setups and add instruments (valves, sensors, etc.) through the same interface. Even the most complicated setups can be controlled in just a few clicks! A Play/Pause button allows changing pressure and flow channels, maintaining the current state of the controller while simultaneously adapting the system to the new settings. Workflow automation Built-in scheduler The scheduler is a user-friendly tool that automates complex steps of your experiments and protocols. Gain precious experimental time by: creating or editing instrument configurations (pressure or flow rate profiles, valve positions, etc.) “dragging and dropping” each step to sequentially arrange them controlling steps timing building a complex sequence with loops (for) and conditions (if) integrating your setup to a wider experimental environment using trigger signals (IN and/or OUT) saving important data using the play/pause button to create a file and record the progress of your experiment saving and loading entire experiments. Advanced Software Development Kit (SDK) control Our package allows developers to integrate Elveflow systems into their own control programs. Those libraries enable fast & easy integration of our instruments to your lab project. We provide the following libraries free of charge (with documentation and example codes): C++ library, Python library, MATLAB library, LabVIEW library Discover the ESI in video Thanks to this video, you will learn how to use pressure-driven flow control with the Elveflow Software! By coupling our pressure controller with one of our flow sensors, you can perform ultra precise and responsive pressure-driven flow control. You can request a flow rate value in the Elveflow Software and the pressure controller will automatically adjust pressure to reach the requested value thanks to a customizable PID Feedback loop.

Absolutely not, the ESI is free of charge with unlimited access. The software comes on a USB key with any instrument and can be downloaded on this website.
New versions are released on a regular basis, they offer new and improved features.
Good news, they are free of charge and can be downloaded directly from this page. You can also ask our support team (customer@elveflow.com) for it.
Unfortunately no, the ESI is only compatible with Windows.
Absolutely not, free SDK libraries and documented code examples (in C++, Labview, Matlab and Python) are also available to control Elveflow instruments and sensors from your own code or software.
“After an easy installation, we are now using the OB1 and flow sensors routinely and are very satisfied by both the flow stability and the software's user-friendly interface”Nelson BC Serre and Matyáš Fendrych, Cell Growth Lab, Department of Experimental Plant Biology, Charles University, Czech RepublicOB1 flow controller and flow sensors user
“We use Elveflow instrument in several projects and they are great to work with. The LabVIEW implementation was also very successful. I hope more people can get to know the OB1 system”Seongjin Park, Senior Engineer, IlluminaOB1 flow controller user
Use trigger signals for advanced synchronization The Elveflow instruments and the ESI allow in & out TTL signal management. In addition to the centralized control of the entire Elveflow range, combining the workflow automation together with trigger signals allow advanced synchronization of eg experiments with microscope illumination and flow control. Learn more in this this application review done in collaboration with the Biozentrum Imaging core facility at the University of Basel, and Olympus France.
