Programmable pump opens a myriad of physiological flow possibilities

Perfusion pump for microscope

Do you need a vibration-free, compact pump for your long-term live cell imaging underflow? Our perfusion pump for microscopy was designed to provide long-term stability for live cell imaging, with no vibration.

If your microscope is surrounded by an incubator chamber, that’s not a problem. The perfusion pump for the microscope is incubator-friendly, withstanding elevated temperatures and humidity without problems.

Vibration-free

The small working distance of objectives demands fine control of environmental perturbations, which can be complex with regular pumps with inherently pulsatile profiles. 

 

Our perfusion pump for the microscope ensures that you can have stable flow without any perturbation in image gathering due to the pump vibrations, providing you with high-quality data acquisition.

This microscope pump is self-contained; that is, it has everything that you will need to culture your cells dynamically: an integrated pump and a flow sensor combined in a way that substantially decreases the number of connectors and tubing! You need to connect it to a computer to control and collect data, and you are all set!

Applications and compatibility

The perfusion pump for the microscope is compatible with organ-on-chip applications, and it is not limited by your chip design or manufacturer.
