Evaluation kit provides proof of concept for single-use flow sensor
The LD20 single-use liquid flow sensor series from Sensirion provides fast, precise measurements of the lowest flow rates in biomedical applications. The company has introduced an evaluation kit for the LD20-0600L flow sensor which allows customers to evaluate and test proof of concept in small quantities.
The LD20-0600L is based on Sensirion’s CMOSens technology. According to the company, costs are optimised through simplifying the design without sacrificing easy fluidic, electrical and mechanical connections. Luer lock fittings ensure safe and secure integration into the fluidic line. The straight and unobstructed flow channel design has no moving parts. Medical-grade wetted materials provide chemical resistance and media compatibility.
While it can provide bidirectional measurement of low flow rates up to 20ml/h, the sensor can also be used to detect common failure modes such as occlusion, air in line or free flow with “unprecedented speed and sensitivity”.
The single-use liquid flow sensors measure the liquid flow rate at the point of interest for more effective patient treatment and improved safety. It is suitable for a range of biomedical applications in hospitals and in the home, such as monitoring ambulatory infusion pumps, low flow measurements of precious medications in neonatology and pediatrics, or subcutaneous flow measurement, for example.
The evaluation kit for Sensirion’s single-use liquid flow sensor LD20-0600L is available from order now from Sensiron’s distributor network.
