Flow Cell Assembly 

The Flow Cell Accessory 

The principle of construction is a simple one. Side Plates are clamped directly onto the Spreeta Sensor. The Fluidic assembly is bolted to the side plates. The Flow Cell Channel is formed in the Gasket material and is 2mm x 10mm x <0.5mm*. 

(* This dimension depends on the degree of compression of the gasket material.) 

Fluidic connections are based on the fact that a teflon tube of a given diameter forms a leak-free slip-fit when inserted into a smaller hole in a teflon block. 

In addition, a black box has been provided that can be used to house the Flow Cell Assembly and block ambient light. 

The Flow Cell Assembly documents and information are available in ENGLISH ONLY.
