Introduction
VenaDeltaY biochips contain branching microchannels for dual flow / dual injection of samples. Compatible with fluorescent microscopy. Using Cellix’s microfluidic pumps, samples including cell suspension and drug compounds may be perfused via dual-injection at the Y- channel end facilitating laminar flow of two streams.
These biochips are ideal for studying chemotactic gradients via dual-injection, dual flow, multilaminar flow and diffusion.
VenaDeltaY biochips are supplied in packs of 10, facilitating 40 experiments per pack.
Note: minimum order of 6 packets of chips.
VenaDeltaY Features:
20x, 40x, 60x long working distance magnification microscopy.
Brightfield / phase contrast / fluorescent microscopy.
Suitable for a wide range of cell suspensions and whole blood.
Easy to coat microcapillaries with a range of different adhesion molecules.
Biochip plastic is optically clear permitting detailed microscopy studies.
0.05–450 dyne/cm2 shear stresses / shear flow rates easily obtained and controlled by Cellix’s microfluidic pumps.
Shear stress / shear flow rate may be pre-set to be incrementally increased during an assay.
Real time imaging under flow conditions.
Performance and Technical Specifications:
*Considering human whole blood with a viscosity of 4.5 cP.
**Given for the flow of distilled water in a microcapillary with dimensions: 400 μm (W) x 100 μm (D) x 28 mm (L).
Applications:
Flow assays using minimal sample volumes (whole blood, cell suspensions, proteins etc.); immunofluorescence and confocal microscopy.
