Biology

Our flow control systems perfuse biological samples, from a single cell to a whole organism, at a flow rate you set and hold anywhere between 0.1 µL/min and 500 mL/min. The pressure acts on the medium from the gas side, so the flow carries no pulse, up to 20 times steadier than a syringe or peristaltic pump, and reaches its setpoint in about ten milliseconds.

Pressure and vacuum on programmable waveforms drive mechanical stimulation as well as perfusion: a chip membrane that stretches, a pulsatile flow, a gas drawn across an air–liquid interface. One to four independent lines run from a single interface.
