Ability to control media flow in a ramping manner for numerous
cycles.
Perfusion
/ Temperature Control Computer Interface
The live-cell
microscopy Perfusion and Temperature Control Interface
from Bioptechs™ features:
• Extreme ease of use with
precise and repeatable control
• Dual or single micro-perfusion pumps
• Flow profile to reduce dead volume delays
• Temperature and perfusion recording
• Data logging of perfusion and temperature
• Multi flow-rate calibration
• Temperature profiling and cycling
• Saving and reloading settings
• Graphic display of events
This intuitive control interface system is optimized for time
lapse imaging of live-cell activity. It provides a convenient,
accurate, reliable, and repeatable method of controlling fluid
and temperature for chemically or thermally induced change
experiments in live-cell chambers. It is WYSIWYG on both Mac
and Windows platforms!

A typical scenario:
Ca++ free medium flows from pump [A] at a specified flow rate
to equilibrate cells for a selected period of time. Then pump
[A] is shut off as Ca++ rich medium from pump [B] starts at
the same flow rate as the previous [A]. Pump [B] then accelerates
at a specified rate to a specified peak flow rate and holds
for a specified period of time sufficient to displace the dead
volume of the prior media in the tubing. At this time the flow
rate of pump [B] is reduced to a specified rate optimal for
imaging. This process is then repeated either cyclically or
on demand.
