No Bubble. No Trouble. Just Stable Flow.

In microfluidics, even the tiniest bubbles can disturb your flow stability, damage cells, or interrupt continuous experiments.

That’s why we designed the Elveflow Microfluidic Bubble Remover, a simple yet powerful solution to keep your experiments free from bubbles.

✅ Remove air bubbles in-line before they reach your chip

✅ Biocompatible and autoclavable equipment

✅ Compatible with standard 1/32", 1/16″ and 1/8″ OD tubing

✅ Avoid contamination by changing the hydrophobic membrane easily

Use it together with the Elveflow Bubble Detector for complete bubble management, prevention and detection, to safeguard your most sensitive experiments.

🖐️ Elveflow helps: Accelerating Sepsis Detection

🩸 Sepsis affects nearly 50 million people every year and causes 13 million deaths, with survival rates dropping by 8% for every hour of delayed treatment. Rapid identification of pathogens and their antibiotic susceptibility is therefore vital.

🧫 In this study from Prof. Wouter van der Wijngaart’s team at KTH Royal Institute of Technology 🇸🇪, led by PhD researcher Henar Marino Miguélez, the researchers developed a culture-free method to isolate and identify bacteria from whole blood within 2 hours.

🧠 Their approach combines smart centrifugation, microfluidic trapping, and deep learning-based microscopy analysis, enabling the detection of E. coli, K. pneumoniae, and E. faecalis at clinically relevant concentrations as low as 7–32 CFU/mL.

💧 Precise flow control during the microfluidic trapping stage was achieved using Elveflow OB1 pressure controllers, ensuring stable and reproducible conditions for real-time bacterial capture and imaging.

⚙️ This study represents a major step toward rapid, culture-free sepsis diagnostics, bringing us closer to real-time pathogen detection in clinical environments.

🖐️ Elveflow helps: Pushing the Limits of Pressure Sensitivity

💓 Accurate, continuous, and real-time physiological pressure monitoring is key to diagnosing and managing conditions such as intracranial hypertension and cardiovascular diseases. Yet, traditional fiber Bragg grating (FBG) sensors face a major limitation: low pressure sensitivity in biomedical environments.

🧪 In this study by Dr. Malhar Nagar (Politecnico di Torino 🇮🇹), researchers demonstrated a powerful strategy to overcome this limitation by coating FBGs with PDMS. The polymer layer significantly improved strain transfer, amplifying the Bragg wavelength shift and achieving up to 339-fold sensitivity enhancement compared to uncoated sensors.

💧 To validate these findings, the team designed a custom microfluidic pressure test bench using an Elveflow OB1 pressure controller to deliver precisely regulated pressures from 0 to 1000 mbar, coupled with Elveflow MPS pressure sensors for accurate readouts at both inlet and outlet.

⚙️ Their results bring FBG technology one step closer to real-time, minimally invasive pressure monitoring for applications ranging from pressure-guided catheters to smart wearable devices.

🖐️ Elveflow helps: Enhancing Human Touch Perception

🔬 The team of Prof. Yan Yan Shery Huang (University of Cambridge 🇬🇧) has demonstrated how tactile augmentation can be achieved by collecting and analyzing triboelectric signals ⚡ generated when the skin interacts with different materials.

☝️ By using a substrate-less microfiber electrode placed on the finger, they formed a body-coupled triboelectric circuit capable of classifying materials with ≈95% accuracy through machine learning 🤖.

💧 To fabricate these microfiber electrodes, the team relied on an Elveflow OB1 microfluidic pressure controller to precisely feed the polymer solution during the printing process — ensuring reproducible fiber geometry and stable flow conditions, both essential for consistent signal acquisition.

✨ This work opens new possibilities for wearable tactile interfaces that can enhance human sensory perception and material recognition.

🌍 At Elveflow, our experts come to you, to help you install your equipment and get started with your experiments! 💡

🧳 Last week, Martyna had the pleasure of visiting the Lithuanian Energy Institute (LEI) 🇱🇹 to install a new Elveflow microfluidic and microfabrication setup and provide hands-on training to their research team 👩‍🔬👨‍🔬

🙏 We would like to warmly thank Paulius Vilkinis, Justas Sereika, Aiste Tilvikaite, and Brigita Zakeviciute for their kind welcome and the inspiring discussions! 💬✨

🔬 Their research spans from fundamental fluid mechanics, studying flow behavior and recirculation zones around microchannel obstacles, to micro-mixing for biodiesel production, and even fluid transport in plants, exploring how liquids move through root structures 🌿💧

🧩 The team uses the Elveflow microfabrication station to create their own chips and our OB1 pressure controller to precisely manage their microfluidic flows 🎛️

💫 We’re proud to support such multidisciplinary research bridging energy, biology, and microfluidics 🤝

🎥 ElveVlog in England !

Expertise. Adaptability. Engagement.

These three words define the way we connect with the scientific community, by listening, learning, and sharing meaningful microfluidic insights.

First stop: the Microfluidics Consortium in Cambridge, organized by Peter Hewkin.

Discover the atmosphere of this event that gathered local researchers and pioneering microfluidics companies like HiComp, z-microsystems, Advanced Microfluidics (AMF), Micronit, IPFL or Rapid Fluidics. The day concluded with a dinner at the beautiful Christ’s College, where we reconnected with long-term partners like Darwin Microfluidics. The next day we had the chance to visit facilities of the Department of Materials Science and Metallurgy from the University of Cambridge and the offices of Comsol in Cambridge. Thanks for the tour!

Second stop: Imperial College in London

We took the opportunity of being in England to visit Imperial College London, meet our users, answer their technical questions, and better understand their ongoing challenges, because improving our instruments starts with listening to the people who use them every day. They all produce their own microfluidic chips in-house, relying on Elveflow systems to finely tune and stabilize flow conditions for their diverse research applications.

🔬 At South Kensington Campus, we met Marcus Fletcher and Zain Ahmad, both Postdoctoral Research Associates using Elveflow instruments in remarkably different ways. One to generate vesicles as synthetic cell models from a biological interaction perspective, and the other to optimize industrial grease-cleaning processes with microfluidics in collaboration with P&G.

🏥 At Hammersmith Campus, we exchanged with Jorge Bernardino de la Serna, Associate Professor, who is advancing lung-on-chip models using PDMS devices.

⚗ At White City Campus, we connected with Joseph van Batenburg-Sherwood and his PhD students Ioana Esanu and Gladys Guadalupe, investigating blood flow dynamics and how it influences endothelial cell behavior, a crucial step toward understanding vascular health.

Thanks for having us and save the date for the Microfluidics Consortium in Paris this November!

🫧 Anyone who has worked with microfluidics knows how disruptive bubbles can be. They interrupt flow, skew experimental results, and sometimes even damage delicate samples. Detecting them early and acting fast can make the difference between a successful experiment and wasted time and resources.

That’s why we developed the Elveflow Microfluidic Bubble Detector, an inline optical sensor designed specifically for microfluidic setups.

✅ Detects bubbles in real time, non-invasively

✅ Works seamlessly with standard 1/16″ and 1/8″ OD tubing

✅ Integrates with your setup to trigger automated actions (pressure changes, valve switching, or fluid rerouting)

✅ Protects your samples and ensures reproducibility

It can be used alone with our sensor reader or fully integrated with the OB1 pressure controller for automation.

Learn how this small sensor can make a big impact on your experiments:
