Product Description
Detects liquid interface change inside clear tubing through the change of optical index and light absorption.
Includes Adaptor for 1/16 OD tubes.
Compatible with OB1, AF1 flow controlling systems and Elveflow Microfluidic Sensor reader.
Elveflow® Smart Interface software included - 1-year warranty.
The most-popular application for the Inline Liquid Sensor is to use the sensor as a microfluidic bubble detector. Bubbles are a big challenge to address in microfluidics, as they can induce flow modifications or interact with the experiment and damage to the sample. Users can monitor and count the passage of microfluidic bubbles at any given point of their setup and automate the experiment accordingly.
For example, when paired with an OB1 MK3+ it is possible to increase the pressure or switch a valve to direct the bubbles into another fluidic path.
- Reliable non invasive technique
- Cost effective compared to camera check
- Based on true/false logic
- Large compatibility: wide range of tubing size
- Use anywhere in your setup
- Prevents damage in cells with bubble bursts
- Setup automation: it is possible to trigger fluid control operations based on the bubble detection signal
The Inline Fluid Sensor can be plugged directly onto Elveflow’s OB1 MK3+, or it can be used as a standalone unit with the Sensor Reader.

Principle of Operation
The Inline Fluid Sensor detection principle is based on the measurement of the optical path and the variation of this path when the flowing medium is changing.
A light beam is emitted by a LED of known power. This light beam goes through the capillary and the fluid flowing through. It is then collected by an NPN silicon phototransistor which converts the light power into an electrical signal. When a the fluid changes, the optical index and the light absorption coefficient change accordingly. It induces a change in the electrical power and allows detection of changes in the fluid.
