OpenMFDA Foundry

Multi-inlet block

A front door for a chip. Between two and ten liquid inlets, each with its own membrane valve, combined by a branching tree down to a single outlet. The valves let you choose which inlet is open.

What it is for. Bringing several reagents onto one chip through one downstream channel, and selecting between them without any external valve manifold.

Variants

Sizes below are given in px: units of the design grid these parts were drawn on, where one unit is 0.0076 mm. That is not the printer's pixel. The printer has its own, different pixel size, and nothing on this page is expressed in it — see Hardware and process.
