Microfluidic setup Flow Rate and Pressure Calculator

Choosing the right microfluidic controller is the first step in developing any microfluidic experiment, but it is not always an easy task. In a microfluidic set-up there are two kinds of flow resistances: external flow resistances (tubing and fittings) and internal flow resistances (microchip design). Both will determine the necessary pressure to achieve the desired flow rate.

To help our clients choose the right instrument, Fluigent has designed a calculator to estimate the resistance of most microfluidic setups.
