SmartSquirt® Micro-Perfusion System
• Deliver microliter volumes starting with as little as 100 microliters of precious drugs
Switch between eight solutions in milliseconds from a single tip.
• Minimize cross-contamination with BackStop™ back-flow prevention
Special 3-way relief valve design stops liquid flow quickly.
• Valves and pressure controls in a small box near microscope
- no stand necessary
Includes pressurized large-volume reservoir for buffer.
Programmable dispensing, microinjection,
perfusion or spritzing of reproducible microliter volumes.
Up to eight solutions are stored in 2.5ml cryo tube reservoirs
with easy syringe refill ports. Included pneumatic solenoid
valves deliver regulated air pressure to push liquids out
of the Smart Squirt Perfusion Pencil tip. An AutoMate Scientific
(or other) valve controller offers programmable, manual or
computer-controlled valve selection for switching which reagent
is delivered from the tip. Pulse a valve quickly for microliter
delivery, or leave it on longer for constant perfusion. The
short delivery path saves expensive reagents. Integrated
BackStop check valves prevent backflow found in competing
micro-perfusion systems, while special three-way valve design
stops liquids quickly. The 0-10psi regulator and air filter
require a compressed air or other gas source -- bottle, compressor
or lab air. Compare to an eight-channel, 10psi Picospritzer™ at
a fraction of the price.
Order with an AutoMate ValveLink8.2® or ValveBank® controller or use your own valve controller. Can be combined with an AutoMate Scientific ThermoClamp®-1 for temperature-controlled delivery. Micromanipulator packages available.
Detached SmartSquirt now standard with longer Pencil
No room on your microscope stage
for the SmartSquirt? The Perfusion Pencil for the SmartSquirt
now uses longer tubes for mounting the Reservoir Block up
to 30cm away from the delivery location. The Pencil itself
is also 30cm long for easier mounting on wide stages. Both
standard.

"I just wanted to tell you that I have been using the SmartSquirt nearly every day, and I am very pleased with it. I have tested for cross contamination, and I believe it is very low. To prevent hydrostatic flow from the cryostat tubes into the bath, one line must continue perfusing bath solution after all other valves are closed. Your design changes help hold all of the fittings tightly and keep them from leaking or flowing backwards. I would also rate your company as being excellent for your immediate response to problems and questions on your products."
