Pressure/Vacuum Specifications

The Tempest's microfluidic chip requires pressure and vacuum to actuate the micro-diaphragm pumps. There are three options to supply pressure and vacuum to the system each with their own requirements:

Formulatrix pump box option (Part# PB110 & PB230):
• Connect the system to a pump box specifically designed to provide the required amounts of pressure and vacuum.
• Pressure: Self Contained
• Vacuum: Self Contained
• Connectors: Provided
• Electrical Requirements: 110V, 60Hz, 290W (Part# PB110) or 230V, 50Hz, 290W (Part# PB230)

Direct to lab air and vacuum option:
• Connect the system directly to your source of pressure and vacuum.
• Pressure: 30 psi @ 0.15 cfm = 2.0 bar @ 4.3 lpm
• Vacuum: 22 inHg @ 0.2 cfm= -750 mbar @ 5.7 lpm
• Connectors: 5/32" or 4mm OD tubing. Other connectors available upon request.

Venturi vacuum option (Part# VENT1):
• Use your pressure source to generate the required vacuum with a venturi vacuum pump.
• Pressure: 80 psi @ 1 cfm = 5.5 bar @ 28 lpm
• Vacuum: Self Contained
• Connectors: Quick Disconnect House Coupling, Industrial-Shape, 1/4” NPTF Male, 1/4 Coupling Size (McMaster part# 1077T17) and 5/32" or 4mm OD tubing. Other connectors available upon request.
