Figure 5
Multichannel fluidic system applications: principle of the fluid mixing system. Pressure channels (PC) allow us to pressurize containers to push the solution from the container into the tubing systems. The first stock solution from the buffer stock (BS) container is injected into the mixing tube solution (MS) via the multiple-switch (M-SWITCH) and the 2-SWITCH (step 1). Then the channel of the M-SWITCH is changed using a switchboard which allows the communication of the M-SWITCH and 2-SWITCH. The second solution from precipitant stock (PS) is then injected in the same manner as the first solution (step 2). Finally the M-SWITCH channel is modified again to complete the mixing of the solution with deionized water (W) (step 3). When the mixed solution is ready to use for crystallization the 2-SWITCH channel is modified to allow the filling up of the flowing reservoir (FR). At the end of the flowing process a trash container (T) is used to collect the solution already used for crystallization (step 4). If all of the mixed solution has been used a new one can be prepared in the same way. If not the tube can easily be removed and replaced by a new container. |
