Microfluidic devices are becoming increasingly important in various fields of pharmacy, flow chemistry and healthcare. In the embedded microchannel, the flow rates, the dynamic viscosity of the transported liquids and the fluid dynamic properties play an important role. Various functional auxiliary components of microfluidic devices such as flow restrictors, valves and flow meters need to be characterised with liquids used in several microfluidic applications.

Isaac Newton *04.01.1643greg
Today would have been Isaac Newton’s birthday. Our viscosity sensor VLO-M1 loves Newtonian fluids. Thank you for that.
Rudolf Clausius *02.01.1822
Today would have been Rudolf Clausius’ birthday. Thanks today go out to Rudolf for formulating the second law of thermodynamics. It helps us even now with scientific progress and understanding.
James Precott Joule *23.12.1818
Today would have been James Precott Joule’s birthday. His quote sounds a bit like one of our physicists. Thanks today go out to them for the outstanding improvements they’ve made to our sensors.
Michael Faraday *22.09.1791
Today would have been Michael Faraday’s birthday. Maybe this was a flash of inspiration on his part?
Leonhard Euler *18.09.1783greg
Today would have been Leonhard Euler’s birthday. We find his theories the “maximum”.
John Dalton *06.09.1766
Today would have been John Dalton’ birthday. Without doubt this post is (will be) of interest to those who are interested in this post.
Hermann von Helmholtz *31.08.1821
Today would have been the birthday of Hermann von Helmholtz. Thanks for the theory. We like experimenting on your behalf.
Osborne Reynolds *23.08.1842
Today would have been Osborne Reynolds’ birthday. It’s good that there were (are) people who see limitations in thinking as an interim solution and not as the end result.
Georges Gabriel Stokes *13.08.1819
Today would have been Georges Gabriel Stokes’ birthday. An interesting statement from him, when you think about today’s discussions relating to Disruptive Technologies.
Hendrik Antoon Lorentz *18.07.1853
Today would have been the birthday of Hendrik Antoon Lorentz. If the “weighable matter” is liquid, we are delighted to perform the measurement with our viscosity sensor VLO-M1.
William Thomson, 1. Baron Kelvin *26.06.1824
Today would have been the birthday of William Thomson, 1st Baron Kelvin. Are you perhaps reading this post overseas? If so, it is interesting to know that William Thomson was involved in the development of the Transatlantic Cable.
Blaise Pascal *19.06.1623
Today would have been Blaise Pascal’s birthday. What is your opinion on Blaise Pascal’s statement?
Charles Augustin de Coulomb *14.06.1736
Today would have been the birthday of Charles Augustin de Coulomb. And we took a long time to find this short quote.
Thomas Young *13.06.1773
Today would have been Thomas Young’s birthday. Make an appointment for a meeting with us and who knows; you may well be amazed.
James Clerk Maxwell *13.06.1831
Today would have been James Clerk Maxwell’s birthday. Evaluations based on data are a good start. Our data sheets are available for download from our website.
Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit *24.05.1686
Today would have been Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit’s birthday. Any there any people in your life who have made you interested in a particular topic?
Gaspard Gustave de Coriolis *21.05.1792
Today would have been the birthday of Gaspard Gustave de Coriolis. Did you know that he is one of the 72 scientists and engineers with his name immortalized on the Eiffel tower?
Richard Feynman *11.05.1918
Today would have been Richard Feynman’s birthday. Put our density sensor to the test and find out just how good it is in finding out the answers.
Giovanni Battista Venturi *15.03.1746
Today would have been Giovanni Battista Venturi’s birthday. Why not use the Venturi effect to make your measurement medium flow through our density sensor DLO-M1.
Gustav Robert Kirchhoff *12.03.1824
Today would have been the birthday of Gustav Robert Kirchhoff. Theoretically he was right…
Gotthilf Heinrich Ludwig Hagen *03.03.1797
Today would have been the birthday of Gotthilf Heinrich Ludwig Hagen. Thanks to him and French doctor Jean Léonard Marie Poiseuille, today we have Hagen-Poiseuille’s Law.
Heinrich Hertz *22.02.1857
Today would have been Heinrich Hertz’s birthday. Let’s not lose the electricity supply, otherwise you won’t be able to read his quote.
Alessandro Volta *18.02.1745
Today would have been Alessandro Volta’s birthday. We’ll drink a black coffee to that.
Claude Louis Marie Henri Navier *10.02.1785
Today would have been the birthday of Claude Louis Marie Henri Navier. Did you know that he is one of the 72 scientists and engineers with his name immortalized on the Eiffel tower?
Daniel Bernoulli *08.02.1700
Today would have been Daniel Bernoulli’s birthday. Did you know that at Bernoullis’ time, energy was still referred to as “living force”?
André-Marie Ampère *20.01.1775
