Our Flow Control System
The Flow EZ™ is the most advanced system available for pressure-based flow control.
- A response time ten times faster compared to syringe pumps.
- Control flow rate with the benefits of responsive, pulse-free flow
Discover Omi, Automated Organ-on-chip platform
Omi is an automated platform that helps reproduce the microphysiological behavior of organs inside microfluidic chips. It is compatible any type of chips to sustain different cell culture types or organ on chip models (Gut, Skin…)
Automated Perfusion System for Spatial Omics: Aria
Fluigent’s Aria System automates numerous protocols that repetitively stain and image various cells, tissues, and nucleic acids including FISH, DNA Paint, and immunofluorescent protocols.
Adaptable to virtually any microscope, the system allows users to program a sequence of up to ten unique reagents to be delivered to a closed chamber for automated imaging.
