Table 2.

Power consumption of the microfluidics control system, by component. Maximum values are based on parts’ datasheets and validated through measurement, but do not reflect average power consumption, which depends on how frequently each component is powered on and is therefore application-specific.

Component Maximum power, each [W] Count Max. power, total [W]
Pump 12 1 12
Pressure regulator 2.5 2 5
Solenoid valve 1.3 32 41.6
Microcontroller <1 1 <1
Total 59.6
