Sensirion Announces Its New Liquid Flow Sensor – SLF3S-1300F

Sensirion presents its latest liquid flow sensor, the SLF3S-1300F, at the Electronica and COMPAMED 2018 trade fairs. By combining Sensirion’s excellent 20-year track record in low and lowest flow rate sensing with a radically optimized mechanical design, the SLF3S-1300F takes the well-established functionality to the next level in price-performance ratio. The sensor provides maximum safety, stability and long-term reliability for a wide range of applications, including the fields of diagnostics, analytical instruments and life sciences.

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 info@sensirion.com.

Features:

• Highly integrated: Linearized, temperature-compensated and fully calibrated digital output signal (I²C) from a single chip
• Full scale flow rate for water-based liquids: 40 ml /min
• Turn down ratio 200:1 or better
• High speed measurement: Response time below 20 ms
• Bidirectional measurement and real time failure detection
• Easy fluidic and electrical integration via ¼″-28 flat bottom ports and a standard connector
• Straight, unobstructed flow channel without moving parts
• Media isolated sensing principle: no direct sensor contact with the fluid
• Compact and light-weight form factor
• Chemically resistant wetted materials

Commercial release of the sensor is planned for 2019.
