The 2D Gradient Generator - Single outlet Fluidic 1166 is a microfluidic chip designed to generate chemical gradients for cell and bacteria experiments. It features a large chamber volume, selectable volume control via flow rate, and six channel inlets, allowing intricate control and reproducibility of environment inside the gradient chamber for advanced cell culture work.
General
The 2D Gradient Generator Fluidic 1166 has six inlets, divided into two groups. Each group is connected through serpentine channels which create gradients dependent on the flow rate. The serpentines lead into the gradient chamber. Bacteria or other cells of interest can be seeded in this chamber.
Features & Benefits
- Six Inlet Design: Two groups of inlets enable fine gradient control by adjusting flow rate in each group.
- Serpentine Channel Mixing: Channels mix fluids thoroughly before entering the chamber, which improves gradient consistency.
- Customizable Surface: Available with untreated and hydrophilized surface options to fit various experimental needs.
- Compatible with Cell Culture: The chamber enables direct seeding of bacteria or other cells of interest.
- Easy Connection: Designed with mini Luer interfaces for quick and secure attachment to fluidic setups.
- Transparent Materials: Manufactured using transparent PS or Topas, suitable for optical or microscopic observations.
This device is designed for researchers who need reliable and reproducible chemical gradients in microfluidic studies. The two groups of inlets and serpentines allow for complex gradient creation using simple flow control. Users can select between different materials and surface treatments, depending on their application, such as for cell compatibility or chemical resistance.
The 2D Gradient Generator - Single outlet Fluidic 1166 supports work in biological, chemical, and pharmaceutical research. The chamber is sized for ease of cell seeding and observation, while the transparent construction ensures clear visualization under a microscope. Researchers working with bacteria or other cell types can trust this chip for nuanced and controlled experiments.
