Microfluidic dosing is one of these use cases ahead, leading to a lot of novel applications and innovation. Currently, it is widely observed in the modern lab and can, in general, be realized by different approaches to realize a flow. One of them is pressure-driven flow, which offers a number of specific advantages, e.g. pulsation-free operation and cost-effectiveness. This pressure-driven flow Case Study gives you an insight into the specifics of this special system.
Another advantage particularly useful for contamination-free dosing is that neither a pressure source nor flow control elements have to come into direct contact with sample fluids. This makes pressure-driven flow a perfect technology for operating disposable fluidic chips and cartridges intended for one-time use.
