M-SWITCH™ Front and top 

 

 

 

Here is a picture of the front of an M-SWITCH™. 

 

At the top of the picture, the fluidic head of the device can be seen. The head 
holds the fluidic ports. 

 

 

The head of the M-SWITCH™ is made up of the 

Ram

 which holds the integrated 

fittings  and  the 

Spanner

,  which  is  tightened  around  the  Ram  to  clench  the 

integrated fittings and make tight fluidic connections. The method to connect 
tubings to the M-SWITCH™ is detailed in §4.3.1.
