LabPackage microfluidics system from Labsmith
November 2011
| With the new edition of the LabPackage system bundle of microfluidics experimental equipment, LabSmith addresses both the needs of university labs starting up in the field of experimental microfluidics, as well as the needs of educators for a complete, compact and economical experimental system that can quickly be reconfigured for a number of microfluidics experiments for physics, biophysics and chemistry courses.
The LabPackage system consists of a collection on instruments, flow control/routing components and sample microfluidics chips allowing users to set up experiments using microfluidics technology to demonstrate fundamental principles in physics, chemistry and biophysics.
The LabPackage consists of components to:
Control electric fields:
The HVS448 High Voltage Sequencer with 8 HV channels with programmable sequencing for driving complex flow sequences.
Pump and route microflows:
The uProcess programmable miniature syringe pumps and valves with a kit of fluid connectors, fittings and tubing to route microliter flows between reservoirs and microfluidics chips.
Visualise flows:
The SVM340 Synchronous Video Microscope for visualization and recording flows and flow patterns with programmable probes for measuring flow velocity and fluorescence intensity.
The optional EPI-fluorescence camera module include a high-power LED and a high-transmission Chroma fluorescence filter set for high-contrast imaging of specific fluorescent markers.
All instruments come with comprehensive software for stand-alone operation or for integration into user Labview programs
