Create complex workflows and switch between up to 12 liquids! The MUX Distributor is a rotative valve for bidirectional sequential injection (up to 12 inlets, 1 outlet) or distribution (1 inlet, up to 12 outlets).
With low port-to-port switching time and software integration, it is possible to create completely automated workflows from the Elveflow Smart Interface software, C++, Python, Matlab, or LabVIEW.
Thanks to its 1/4-28 UNF connection ports, the new 12/1 version makes it possible to connect a wide range of tubing materials and sizes. It is also possible to change the direction of rotation (clockwise or counter-clockwise) directly from the software.
Coupled with an OB1 Mk3+ or Mk4 for flow control, complete sequential injection workflows can be automated without a single line of code!
The flow switch distributor can be used for any experiment which needs changes in the medium. Our main applications are for life science: drug screening, toxicity tests, stem cell assays, cell culture on a chip, live cell imaging, and bioreactor studies...
Workflow example
Coupled with the Elveflow OB1® as a pressure supply, the flow switch distributor can load up to 10 samples and operate fast changes between these samples. The flow sensor after the distributor allows accurate monitoring of the flow rate. All these instruments can be controlled at the same time with the Elveflow® Smart Interface.

We recommend contacting your local customs office for detailed information on these charges if you're
ordering from
outside the EU, as they can vary depending on the destination and the value of your order. Please
note that these
additional costs are not included in the shipping fees charged by Darwin Microfluidics.

At Darwin Microfluidics, our goal is to offer the most competitive prices directly as our list
price, ensuring that all
our customers receive great value without needing to navigate complex discount structures. Here’s a
detailed look at our
discount policy:
Competitive list prices: We work hard to ensure our list prices are among the most
competitive in the market. This
approach allows us to offer fair pricing to all our customers from the start, eliminating the need
for frequent
discounts.
Quantity-based discounts: For certain products, we offer quantity-based discounts
directly on the product pages. These
discounts are automatically applied based on the quantity of the product you purchase, providing
savings for bulk
purchases without the need for special codes or negotiations.
Bulk orders: While we strive to offer the best prices upfront, we understand that
customers making large-scale purchases
may have special considerations. In such cases, we invite you to discuss your needs with our sales
team. Depending on

adjustments.
We believe in transparency and simplicity in pricing, allowing you to make your purchases with

America and Europe, and 2-5 business days for international deliveries.
After placing your order, you'll receive a tracking number via email to monitor its progress. Please
note, these times are estimates and may vary based on location and external factors.
At Darwin Microfluidics, we typically ship orders as a complete package once all items are ready.
However, we understand
that certain situations may require partial shipments. Upon request, we can accommodate partial
shipments of your order.
Please be aware that an additional shipping fee may apply for this service. If you need part of your
order shipped
separately, please contact our customer service team to discuss your specific needs and any
additional costs involved.
Since Darwin Microfluidics sells exclusively to companies and institutions and is based in France,
the VAT treatment for
your orders depends on the location of your company or institution:
Within the EU (excluding France): For customers in other EU countries, the reverse
charge mechanism applies. This means
that VAT is not charged by us at the point of sale. Instead, it is your responsibility to account
for the VAT at the
standard rate applicable in your country under the reverse charge procedure. This process helps
simplify cross-border
transactions within the EU.
In France: For customers located in France, standard French VAT rates apply to all
purchases. As a France-based company,
we are required to charge VAT on sales to other French companies and institutions, which you can
then reclaim according
to local VAT procedures if applicable.
Outside the EU: For customers outside the European Union, sales are not subject to
VAT by us. However, you may be
subject to import duties, taxes, and charges that are not included in the item price or shipping
cost. These charges are
the buyer's responsibility and vary by country. We advise checking with your local customs office
for more information.
Please ensure your VAT identification number is provided during the ordering process for EU
transactions to qualify for
the reverse charge mechanism. If you have any questions regarding VAT charges or need further
assistance with
VAT-related issues, please contact our customer service team.
We are unable to provide specific estimates for customs fees, duties, or taxes associated with your
order. These charges
are determined by the customs authority in your country and can vary based on a variety of factors,
including the type
of items purchased, their value, and the country to which they are being shipped.
We recommend contacting your local customs office directly to get the most accurate and up-to-date
information regarding
potential customs charges for your order. They can provide you with detailed guidelines on the fees
you might expect to
pay based on the products you're importing from us.
Please remember, these charges are the responsibility of the recipient and are not included in the
shipping costs paid
to Darwin Microfluidics.
