Reaction Chamber Chip with pre-heating Channel - 30 µl chamber volume Fluidic 992

The Reaction Chamber Chip with pre-heating Channel - 30 µl chamber volume Fluidic 992 is a specialized microfluidic device designed to facilitate precise cell culture experiments. Its main features include a total chamber volume of 30 µl per channel, selectable chamber variants, and a four-channel configuration for independent experiments. Its unique design with pre-heating channels ensures the culture medium reaches appropriate temperatures before cell exposure, substantially improving experimental consistency.

General

This chamber chip features four individual chambers with a volume of 30 µl. Each channel features two inlets of which one can be used to pre-heat media. Whilst cells ought to be cultured at 37 °C, cell culture medium storage temperatures are generally lower. For this reason, this cell culture chamber chip features an additional extended channel upstream the cell culture area to ensure appropriate medium warm up prior to the cell culture. The chip features Mini Luer interfaces and is, like most of our cell culture chips, compatible with our Lab-on-a-Chip Cell Culture Incubator – LOC CCI 1.

Features & Benefits

• Four Independent Chambers: Run up to four separate experiments at the same time and save time with parallel processing.
• Pre-heating Channel: Integrated channel enables the pre-warming of cell culture medium, ensuring optimal temperature stability for cell cultures.
• Two Inlets per Channel: Each channel has two inlets for the option to feed or pre-heat media, increasing flexibility and control in experimental design.
• Mini Luer Interface: Standardized connection supports easy and reliable fluidic integration with common laboratory setups.
• Wide Material Selection: Available in Topas, PS, or Zeonor, as well as with or without hydrophilic surface treatment, to suit different experimental requirements.
• Transparent Design: Clear chip material enables easy microscopic inspection during cell culture.
• No Membrane: Direct cell access, ideal for protocols where separation by a membrane is not required.
• Compatibility: Optimized for use with the Lab-on-a-Chip Cell Culture Incubator – LOC CCI 1.

The Reaction Chamber Chip with pre-heating Channel - 30 µl chamber volume Fluidic 992 allows researchers to set up four individual cell culture experiments, each in its independent chamber. The integrated pre-heating channel solves the common challenge of thermal equilibration of culture media, ensuring that cells are not exposed to temperature fluctuations during critical phases of the experiment. This results in improved viability and reproducibility of the data. The use of standardized Mini Luer connectors makes it simple to integrate into existing lab workflows.

Researchers can select from three different chip materials (Topas, PS, Zeonor) and select chips with or without hydrophilized surface treatment, delivering tailored performance for diverse assay requirements. The chip is fully transparent, which allows for in situ microscopy and straightforward monitoring of cell cultures in real-time. By eliminating a membrane, the chip is best suited for direct interaction studies or measurements where barrier separation is not needed.

Applications

This chip is suitable for a range of cell culture, organ-on-chip, or tissue engineering applications. Its flexibility supports robust experimental design in life sciences and biotechnology fields.

• Cell culture under controlled medium temperature
• Parallel biological assays
• Pharmaceutical and drug screening
