The SapphireLab Flowback Model by Interface Fluidics is a purpose-built microfluidic system for evaluating hydraulic fracturing fluid performance under realistic subsurface conditions. It provides a fast, standardized, and highly sensitive platform to screen individual chemistries or complete frac fluid packages. By replicating flow through controlled porous media, the Flowback Model delivers direct visualization and reproducible data on fluid interactions, compatibility, and performance. This enables operators and researchers to predict, prevent, and remediate flow assurance issues—such as scale formation, emulsions, or formation damage—while accelerating product development cycles. With results available in under a day, it allows rapid iteration, reducing startup risks and optimizing production outcomes with confidence.
The SapphireLab Pro are Interface Fluidics’ flagship microfluidic system for high-pressure, high-temperature (HPHT) studies of reservoir fluids. Purpose-built for PVT and phase behavior analysis, they replicate reservoir conditions at the microscale to deliver direct visualization and quantitative measurements of bubble points, dew points, phase envelopes, and gas–oil interactions. Systems can also be configured to safely handle sour samples, ensuring compatibility with H₂S- and CO₂-rich reservoirs. In addition, the Pro series provides wax and asphaltene precipitation testing, extending its utility to complex production chemistry challenges. By combining advanced imaging with precise pressure-volume-temperature control, the Pro series accelerates decision-making in reservoir management, enhanced oil recovery (EOR), and production forecasting. Offering faster, more reliable, and repeatable results than conventional PVT laboratories, SapphireLab Pro and Pro Plus set the benchmark for reservoir fluid characterization.
