What CorSolutions does

CorSolutions is a privately-held Limited Liability Company headquartered in Ithaca, New York that designs, manufactures, and sells precision microfluidic flow control and measurement instruments. The company's product portfolio spans pneumatic pumps (PneuWave, PneuWave ECO, PneuWave DUO), a peristaltic pump (PeriWave), syringe pumps, in-line flow meters (Nano through Milli+ ranges covering 20 nL/min to 5 mL/min), a combined pressure-and-flow meter (DuoMeter), proprietary CorConneX compression connectors, a PDMS port creation tool, degassers, transparent microfluidic fittings, microscope fluidics kits, fully configurable fluidic workstations, and cost-effective digital microscopes with metrology software. A unified PC software layer and LabVIEW VI tie the hardware lines together with synchronized multi-channel control and data logging.

The company sells directly via a contact-sales motion with no e-commerce or publicly disclosed pricing, targeting academic research institutions, pharmaceutical companies, biotechnology firms, and government laboratories engaged in microfluidics workflows including PDMS microdevice fabrication, Body-on-a-Chip development, droplet generation, 3D cell culture, and stop-flow experiments. Both end-user and OEM product configurations are offered, and revenue is generated through in-house hardware manufacturing supplemented by custom microdevice design and machining services for prototype development. Marketing is primarily educational (tutorials and technical resources) and event-driven (MicroTAS 2020, Lab-on-a-Chip World Congress), with an email newsletter for direct customer engagement. CorSolutions has operated continuously since 2007, is founder/owner-controlled with no disclosed institutional investors, and maintains a small employee base of 11-50 people.

Core offering

CorSolutions designs, manufactures, and sells microfluidic flow control and measurement products, including pneumatic and peristaltic pumps (PneuWave, PneuWave ECO, PneuWave DUO, PeriWave, Syringe Pump), flow meters, pressure sensors, CorConneX compression connectors, PDMS port creators, degassers, fittings, microscopes, and fluidic workstations. Products are sold as both end-user and OEM versions and are supported by a unified PC software and LabVIEW control platform for precision fluid manipulation in research and industrial microfluidic workflows.

Product overview

CorSolutions offers a comprehensive portfolio of microfluidic flow control and measurement products organized as a platform-plus-modules architecture. The core offerings include three distinct pump families: the PneuWave series (PneuWave, PneuWave ECO, PneuWave DUO) providing pneumatic-based flow control with integrated compressors and dual-channel positive/negative pressure capability, and the PeriWave peristaltic pump for closed-loop flow control with forward/reverse capabilities. These pumps are complemented by measurement modules including Flow Meters (Standard, ECO, MULTI variants) and DuoMeter devices that combine pressure and flow rate measurement. Supporting products include Microfluidic Connectors with CorConneX technology, the PDMS Port Creator for microdevice fabrication, Degassers for bubble prevention, transparent Microfluidic Fittings, Microscope Fluidics Kits for workstation conversion, and fully customizable Fluidic Workstations that integrate pumps, connectors, and microscopes. The ecosystem is tied together through PC Software and LabVIEW VI for synchronized multi-channel control and data logging. Accessories encompass tubing, gaskets, voltage clamps, and metrology software.
