A pressure-proofed reservoir for high-pressure microfluidic applications up to 8 bar. Manufactured in PTFE, the cap ensures a secured connection between the glass bottle and your microfluidic downstream system with 2x 1/4-28 UNF connection threads.
General
This 150 mL reservoir is specifically designed for high-pressure microfluidic applications. Tested for pressures up to 8 bar, the PTFE cap has two 1/4-28 UNF threaded holes for 1/16" and 1/8" OD tubing to easily connect your pressure controller and your downstream microfluidic system. A protective net and bottle holder are included.

Setup
The reservoirs are intended to be used in conjunction with a pressure source, whereby the reservoir is pressurized to facilitate the controlled pumping of liquid from the reservoir into a microfluidic system. An example of a complete setup utilizing the microfluidic cap and reservoir kit is demonstrated in the schematic below.
Safety Warning
Working with systems under pressure above atmospheric pressure presents a safety risk, especially when working with hazardous liquids and gases.
Darwin microfluidics cannot guarantee the strength of the provided reservoirs beyond atmospheric due to the nature of their material, transportation, and end-user handling methods. It is thus the responsibility of the end-user to take necessary precautions to ensure their safety, including careful handling and operation and wearing personal protective equipment.
Working with pressurized reservoirs requires following some recommendations to ensure your security.
Recommended pressure range: from -900 mbar to 8 bar.
Pressure resistance tests have been performed on the pressurized tanks. Protocols and results of the tests are available upon request.
- Do not use a tube or a bottle that looks damaged or has encountered a shock.
- Use only the same tube references if you need a spare one. We cannot guarantee that other references of tubes or bottles used by the end-user will withstand the same pressure ranges.
- Make sure that the tube/bottle used with Elveflow pressurized tube cap is adapted to the experimental conditions (chemical compatibility of the material, resistance to temperature, …) to fulfill security requirements.
- Use security equipment adapted to specific experimental conditions. You may be using pressurized reservoirs containing dangerous liquids and presenting explosion risks (protection glasses, security net, or shield). Also, depending on the nature of the liquid, it is the user's responsibility to use indicated security equipment (PPE, chemical hood, …).
