Customer Questions
How do I sterilize my resealable flow cell's / OOC top and bottom layers?
Sterilization
Resealable flowcells are not sterilized when delivered. Please use distinguished sterilization processes for glass slides with and without a gasket.
Glass slides with gasket:
- Can be sterilized with ethanol.
- Dry heat of up to 140 °C can be applied.
- Can be autoclaved.
Glass slides without gasket:
- Can be sterilized with ethanol.
- Can be autoclaved.
I have a Elveflow OB1 pressure based pump what connectors do I need?
Nuts and ferrules
Elveflow uses 1/4-28 screw in connections on there reservoirs and sensors. To interface you will need Flangeless nuts 1/4-28 for 1/16" tubing, including compatible ferrules. Those nuts and ferrules are included in Elveflows "Kit Fittings Starter Pack Push-in".
This item wil look like this:
In addition you will need our connection kit. Our Connection kit includes nuts or ferrules specificilly designed for our Fluidic Connect Pro, Fluidic Connect 4515 or side connect holders.
Tubing included in "Kit Fittings Starter Pack Push-in"
The 1/16"OD PTFE tubing included in the kit has a very large ID (1/32" ~0.79mm) and is from a relatively soft material, this is not so suitable for bot our Fluidic Connect Pro and Fluidic Connect 4515 holders as there's very limited wall thickness. We recommend alternative tubing, like ETFE with a maximum of 0.5mm ID. This tubing is included in our connection kits.
Use of 1/32" tubing
1/32" tubing can be in combination with our Fluidic Connect Pro holder also be used, but need alternative ferrules. The ElveFlow "Kit Fittings Starter Pack Push-in" doesn't include sleeves for use of 1/32" OD tubing. They are included in our "Syringe to tube connection kit"
Our Sideconnect our Fluidic Connect 4515 holders doens't support 1/32" tubing.
I have a Fluigent pressure based pump, what connectors do I need?
Lineup
We recommend the dafault Fluigent kits (FLOW EZ™ SUPPLY KIT, FLUIWELL KIT or P-CAP KIT)
The P-cab or FLUIWELL KIT already contains 0.5m 1/16" OD FEP tubing with a ID of 500µm, when you use only limited pressures, you can try this tubing first and only order:
- For Fluidic Connect Pro our propriatary ferrules.
- For Fluidic Connect 4515 our propriatary flatbottom nuts and ferrules.
- For Sideconnect our propriatary ferrules.
For optimal performance we recommend our complete connection kit, the FEP tubing might be a bit soft limiting the pressure rating.
MFCS
We recommend the dafault Fluigent kits (MFCS™-EZ HIGH/LOW PRESSURE KIT, FLUIWELL KIT or P-CAP KIT )
The P-cab or FLUIWELL KIT already contains 0.5m or 1m 1/16" OD FEP tubing with a ID of 500µm, when you use only limited pressures, you can try this tubing first and only order:
- For Fluidic Connect Pro our propriatary ferrules.
- For Fluidic Connect 4515 our propriatary flatbottom nuts and ferrules.
- For Sideconnect our propriatary ferrules.
For optimal performance we recommend our complete connection kit, the FEP tubing might be a bit soft limiting the pressure rating.
