− | + | The TERRA Adapter is a scalable, predesigned chip that is capable of selectively dispensing the output of the microfluidic chip running the experiment into the intended lab vessel. The TERRA Adapter serves to increase the number of and types of microfluidic chips that are compatible with our system. This makes the system more user-friendly, as they don’t have to design a chip that both completes a biological experiment and is capable of selecting the proper output to be dispensed. For droplet based experiments, the TERRA Adapter has two valves and a set of four pressure regulators per output. In continuous flow experiments, there are two valves for every output and an extra output that serves as a flush mechanism for cleaning the nozzle between outputs, but no pressure regulators. | |
