Cell perfusion with pulse-free flow with one manifold
Many microfluidic applications require switching between multiple solutions (such as samples or buffers) while maintaining a constant flow-rate during the course of their experiment.
In this application, one Flow EZ™ pressure channel is connected via a manifold to ten separate vials containing different aqueous solutions. Use of the M-Switch™ and MAT allows the selection of a specific solution directed to a microfluidic device.
This presents an economical way to change between fluids as it requires a single pressure channel and one flow sensor.

IMPEDANCE SPECTROSCOPY ON CHIP FOR CHARACTERIZATION AND COUNTING OF CELLS AND PARTICLES
Information, such as cell size, type discrimination and other quantitative characteristic information can be measured for biological systems using impedance spectroscopy. Our electrical impedance spectroscopy platform (or EISP) offers the advantage of acquiring this information from cells, or particles such as beads, without the need to label them, as would be needed for characterization using […]

AUTOMATED RARE CELLS CAPTURE AND LABELLING
Micropipette aspiration is a powerful non-invasive technique to evaluate how biomechanical properties of single cells or tissue govern cell shape, cell response to mechanic stimuli, transition from nontumorigenic to tumorigenic state or morphogenesis. The Fluigent MFCS™-EZ and Flow EZ™ pressure controllers are particularly suited for this method since it requires applying forces ranging from 10pN […]
