Determining the best system architecture for moving fluids through your microfluidic device requires carefully weighing a variety of factors. Syringe pumps and rotary valves are typically used in these applications, but they can be large, expensive, and costly to maintain. We’ve worked with dozens of sequencing, spatial biology, and PCR system designers to find solutions for overall fluidic system cost reduction. There are always tradeoffs in these decisions. This visual guide can help you decide on the best solution for your needs.
