A New Level of Miniaturization for Non-Invasive Liquid Flow Sensors

Innovative packaging enables Sensirion's highly sensitive thermal flow sensor microchips to measure non-invasively through the wall of a flow channel inside a microfluidic substrate (US Pat. 6813944). This design provides unique sensitivity for liquid flow measurement and bubble detection in the microliter range. The sensors are especially suitable for monitoring flow rates and improving system performance in high-volume biomedical applications and micro fuel cells.
