Fluigent introduces the Aria, our Automated sequential injection system for cellular perfusion or timed injection protocols. The Aria allows one to automate delivery of up to 10 different solutions into a chamber or microfluidic chip by following user defined protocols. For cellular perfusion, long-term imaging of cultured cells requires controlled environmental conditions. Continuous perfusion of the medium allows maintaining cells under optimal physiological conditions, with constant nutrient supply and controlled pH environment while avoiding cell debris accumulation. Our perfusion system generates minimal shear stress for cells and allows users to achieve medium flow continuously through pressure variations. Additional components in our perfusion system ensure a highly controlled flow rate through flow sensors, and the possibility to perform fast-medium switches. Automation Long-term perfusion studies Biocompatible Contamination-free Save time Automated protocols Easy to use All in one instrument and software Adaptable Fits any experimental design Deliver up to 10 solutions The Aria covers any applications as the volumes injected range from 40µL to hundreds of mL deliver over several days. To minimize carryover between successive solutions, the tubing can be cleared. The user is informed of the delivery time of each solution thanks to Aria’s intelligent software. The software also notifies the user of the minimum volume required in each reservoir to run their protocol.
