The 8-Channel Micro Perfusion System Kit MPS-8 for cells and tissues is designed for precise switching of liquids in a perfusion set-up and consists of the Flow Switch Controller FSC-8 and the Perfusion Head PH-8. The MPS-8-Kit switches interruption-free between 8 buffers while permanently perfusing cell and tissue cultures. The buffers are selected, mixed and tempered by the programmable FSC-8 and flow into an attached cell-culture chamber (not included). The Perfusion Head PH-8 is simple and very compact and consists of three main components: top plate, channel layer and bottom plate. Its design can be adapted to your needs. The FSC-8 protects the valves from heating (equally heating the buffers) and can work as a stand-alone system where it runs your programmed script. It can also can be remote controlled from other computers or instruments via TTL, RS232, TCP/IP and USB
Interruption-free ultra-fast switching between all channels, low artefacts due to flow irregularities. Arbitrary mixing ratios allow to implement automated dose response measurements Simple scale-up for high-throughput screening, compact stackable modules Continuous supervision of the liquid flow due to transparent materials (gas inclusions, precipitations, contamination) Integrated fast temperature control Simple sterilization (autoclaveable channel-layer) Simple scripting language for rapid protocol development and adaptations The perfused fluids can be recovered Reduced nucleation of air bubbles, because the liquids are pressurized .
SOME APPLICATIONS

Environmental research on lethal living conditions
Whenever it is important to apply or combine drugs and other substances carried by an interruption free and stable throughflow, our system helps you to get better and more results. We carefully designed the system with the help of hydrodynamic simulations.
