Media Exchange > High-Performance 8-Channel System

8-Channel Fast Perfusion System with programmable timers and channel sequences for precise timing during manual operation

Specifications:

Response time:

1.5ms

Manifolds:

8-channel, can be reduced down to 1-channel, 8-channel micromanifold

Height:

up to 3ft. adjustable, for gravity driven solution flow

Solution cylinders:

60ml x16

Tubing:

100ft. polyethylene tubing, fits valves and perfusion manifold directly;
50ft. Tygon tubing, fits provided barbed luer-locks

Fitting:

barbed luer-locks and ferrule-type to connect to solution cylinders and between Tygon & polyethylene tubing

Anti-vibration mounting:

a. 1x1 ft. stand,
b. magnetic stand,
c. M8, M6, or 1/4-20 threaded surfaces



This system is used to change solution in the bath around your sample, or to apply test compounds locally using included miniature manifold. Switch solution valves are placed in 125mm L x 50mm W x 15mm H aluminum box. Included 1 ft. and X-blocks attach the valves to the included vibration-free syringe holder or to a regular 0.5 in. stand. This allows you to position valves near the sample over a microscope stage to minimize the dead volume inside tubing. Comes with tubing, and manifolds. Includes easy disconnect fitting for tubing and included syringes. Can be used with a gas adapter to saturate solutions with gas mixtures, CO2 and O2 for example (requires CO2 controller).

Comes with a 16-channel controller. The controller opens valves through
  • manual buttons
  • wireless remote control (optional)
  • optically isolated digital or TTL signals generated by a computer or other equipment
  • analog signal
  • RS232 port (or USB connection) for software control
Compatible with data acquisition and imaging systems. Since valves are inside the metal box and are connected to the controller through shielded cables, there is no electrical noise during switching.


The included unique syringe holder provides vibration-free operation and includes both a stand and a small magnetic base. The magnetic base does not take a lot of space from your set-up, but allows to position perfusion solutions near your sample. The post consists of 0.5 in. O.D., 1 foot long aluminum parts and can be extended to 3 feet high. An 1.5 in. flowerette head screw will fix the syringes on the post, making a traditional syringe holder. Comes with 60ml syringes, stop-cocks, and fitting. The holder can be also mounted on threaded M6, M8 or 1/4-20 surfaces.


16-channel valve controller

The included 16-channel controller can operate in AUTO Memory mode, to program timers and channels sequences for precise timing during manual operation;

INHIBIT mode with manual and external controls allows you to switch all channels OFF at once, if required. 

The controller has an option for valves control by Binary Encoding using only 2-4 digital inputs, in case if a limited number of digital outputs are available in your system. The RS232 port allows automation of solution switching and integration with imaging systems.

ANALOG output can be configured to monitor channel switching during manual operation. By default, ANALOG output is used to switch an outflow unit ON automatically every time perfusion is ON.

With optional RS232UP upgrade up to 32 channels (two controllers) can be operated through a single RS232 port. Up to 10 controllers (RS232UP only) can be connected in a chain to control 320 channels through the same RS232 (or USB) port. 

Comes with an external 120/220V power supply. Click on image to enlarge.
