TwinFlow

Hassle-free precision droplets and micropumping

TwinFlow dual-channel pressure pump
Available now

Why TwinFlow beats a syringe pump

No more choosing between volume-limited syringe pumps, bulky pressure rigs, or inaccurate peristaltic pumps.

Unlimited volume = unlimited droplets

Pressure-driven from a refillable reservoir - stable droplet generation for hours without manually swapping syringes.

Small, yet scalable

One small box fitting in your hands with 2 pumps inside. Multiple pumps can be stacked vertically for complex workflows.

Portable

Often moving between benches or labs? The TwinFlow is light and self-contained.

Droplets, out of the box

Built specifically for droplet generation - get monodisperse droplets out of the box.

Our feedback-control algorithm with millisecond-response time ensures precise, monodisperse droplets through hours of experiments.
