Title

(EN) Handheld fluid handling systems and methods

Abstract

(EN)

A handheld system includes a reference pressure source configured to generate a reference pressure. The handheld system also includes a primary pressure source coupled to the reference pressure source. The primary pressure source is configured to generate a primary pressure in a primary pressure range. The primary pressure is less than the reference pressure, and the primary pressure is induced by the reference pressure source. The handheld system also includes a secondary pressure source coupled to the primary pressure source. The secondary pressure source is configured to generate a secondary pressure in a secondary pressure range. The secondary pressure is less than the primary pressure, and the secondary pressure is induced by the primary pressure source.
