A bubble trap is a device that removes air bubbles from aqueous solutions inline or downstream in a fluidic system. Unfortunately, air bubbles in the fluidic flow can cause significant problems for applications because the bubbles unexpectedly change the intrinsic physical properties of the microfluidic environment. This change can increase the internal pressure abruptly in a fluidic/microfluidic system. It may lead to sudden shear force variations, which change the compliance of the system or even blocks small channels. Bubble traps are instrumental in ensuring a safe performance in any sanitary hydraulic system.

Unibloc’s bubble trap design comes with a number of benefits, including the electropolished 316L stainless steel material we use. We manufacture multiple sizes and port configurations for maximum customization, to give our customers the options they need for successful application. Our bubble traps come with comprehensive documentation, including material test reports and surface finish certification, so customers can count on our rigorous quality control.
