Summary of Sensirion Announces Its New Liquid Flow Sensor – SLF3S-1300F
The SLF3S-1300F is a compact, cost-effective liquid flow sensor utilizing Sensirion's CMOSens® Technology. It features a straight, unobstructed flow channel with no moving parts and chemically resistant wetted materials. Capable of bidirectional measurement up to 40 ml/min with a response time under 20 ms, it offers digital I2C output and real-time failure detection. Designed for diagnostics and life sciences, it ensures high system reliability through media isolation and easy integration via standard ports.
Parts used in the SLF3S-1300F Liquid Flow Sensor:
- Sensirion CMOSens Technology chip
- Straight unobstructed flow channel
- Chemically resistant wetted materials
- ¼″-28 flat bottom ports
- Standard connector
- Digital I2C output interface
The SLF3S-1300F liquid flow sensor is based on Sensirion’s proven CMOSens® Technology and optimizes costs by simplifying the design without sacrificing the easy fluidic, electrical and mechanical connections. The straight and unobstructed flow channel has no moving parts; inert wetted materials provide outstanding chemical resistance and excellent media compatibility. In measuring flow rates up to 40 ml/min bi-directionally, the sensor allows monitoring the entire system operation and detecting common failure modes.
The SLF3S-1300F enables applications in the fields of diagnostics, analytical instruments and life sciences to reach unparalleled fluid control, system reliability and thus new heights in performance and end-user satisfaction. Its compact form factor and cost-effective design permit system designs with one or more sensors that were previously unfeasible.
Samples of the SLF3S-1300F liquid flow sensor are available now for testing. Please contact Sensirion for further information at [email protected].
