Abstract
A fluid sensing system includes a microfluidic chip, multiple sensors, and a communication device. The microfluidic chip includes at least one microfluidic channel extending a length through the microfluidic chip. The microfluidic chip is fluidly connected to a process fluid such that a fluid sample from the process fluid flows through the at least one microfluidic channel. The multiple sensors are operatively connected to the at least one microfluidic channel of the microfluidic chip. The multiple sensors are configured to monitor multiple different properties of the fluid sample within the at least one microfluidic channel. The communication device is operatively connected to the multiple sensors. The communication device is configured to receive data parameters representative of the multiple different properties of the fluid sample from the multiple sensors and wirelessly transmit the data parameters to a remote location.
