Mini pump for cell culture

The mini pump was designed to facilitate the recirculation of media for long-term cell culture inside the CO2 incubator.

 

Its simple design, with only one inlet, one outlet, and a screen that controls everything through a handle, takes care of all the fluidics and allows you to focus on biology. It is also easily adapted to different reservoir volumes, from Eppendorfs to 1 L bottles.

The mini pump can be used in two main configurations.

First, as a closed-loop using only one reservoir as inlet and outlet of media.

The second configuration comprises two reservoirs and can be used as a reservoir-to-waste system, meaning there is no media recirculation. One reservoir provides fresh media, and the second collects used media. The cells only receive fresh input.

It is also possible to turn this configuration into a recirculation setup by adding level sensors that automatically switch between reservoirs.
