SLF3S-0600F – Bidirectional Liquid Flow Sensor Provides Low Flow Rate Measurements up to ±2000 µl/min for Diagnostics and Analytical Instruments
The Sensirion has introduced the new bidirectional liquid flow sensor (SLF3S-0600F) that provides maximum safety, stability, and reliability in the fields of diagnostics, analytical instruments, and life sciences. This new addition to the SLF3x series can be used for monitoring the entire system operation and detecting common failure modes for a wide range of applications.
The SLF3x series is designed based on CMOSens Technology and optimizes the cost by simplifying the design without sacrificing the easy fluidic, electrical, and mechanical connections. The devices can measure very low flow rates bidirectionally up to ±2000 µl/min and come with a straight and unobstructed flow channel with no moving parts. It also offers excellent chemical resistance and media compatibility.
The SLF3x series can be used in a variety of applications such as failure detection and volume confirmation for diagnostics, cell analysis, and analytical instruments; process control and monitoring for coating, additive, and reagent dispensing systems.
