CELL CULTURE TUBES FOR PERFUSION
No need to screw and twist, just plug and play
No more risk of contamination
Replace handling tubing for plugging sterile needles
When design meets scientific instrumentation: cell culture tubes redesign
“The devil is in the detail” was reportedly said by Nietzsche once. Indeed, we believe that attention to detail can make life much easier. That’s why we decided to apply design concepts to our scientific instruments and accessories.
We redesigned our cell culture tubes so their lids require less effort. Instead of requiring two different fittings to secure the tubing for the media line, we replaced them with a single miniluer adapter. Hence, you must put the tubing tip inside the adapter and plug it into the lid. For the pressurized-gas line, there is no need to screw the fittings. You must connect the tube to the adapter and drill it into the lid.
Keeping everything sterile was also a significant motivation for our redesign. Now, you don’t need to pass the tubing through the lid until the bottom of the reservoir, which can be a vector of contamination; you need to plug a sterile needle into the lid.
By making your assembly process easier, we save time and mental space so you can focus on your experiments.
Customize your pack
Our instruments are compatible with standard commercialized chips from different brands.

Can the cell culture tubes be placed inside the CO2 incubator?
Yes, the cell culture tubes were designed to be compatible with the CO2 incubator.
Are the cell culture tubes for other volumes than 15 ml?
For the moment, only 15ml cell culture tubes are available. However, reservoirs for other volumes are being developed. Don’t hesitate to contact us to learn more about them!
Can I combine the cell culture tubes with other instruments?
Yes! Our team can help you design the setup that makes more sense for your application. Drop us a line at innovation@microfluidic.fr
