Gravity Flow Perfusion

Valve Controlled Gravity Perfusion Systems – 4 channel

The VC3-4xG Series from ALA includes 4 channel valve controlled gravity perfusion systems that fulfill the basic requirements of the student lab but can also be optimized to fit the most demanding applications of patch clamp recording and/or imaging. All VC3-4xG Series systems provide electronic control of solution exchange which improves reproducibility over manual methods. These systems are designed to minimize electronic noise so sensitive electro physiological recordings are not disturbed.

Features

Choice of low-maintenance pinch valves or fast-response solenoid valves
Customizable reservoir sizes and materials
DAQ control via analog or TTL input
Valve control through DAQ, Valve Commander software, or controller
Spill sensor with automatic shutoff to protect microscope optics
Valve open and close timestamps via analog or digital output
