The Perfusion Temperature Control interface is a Windows XP computer program with associated interface hardware that allows the user to intuitively and repeatedly control perfusion or temperature in micro-fluidic cell chambers for time lapse imaging. It is designed to address the fluidic and temperature control issues typical of chemically or thermally induced change experiments in live-cell chambers. The program provides a WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) graphic preview of your input values then executes the values on command. Requires two Bioptechs Micro-perfusion pumps. Note: Windows 7 Version is currently under development!
The greatest value, other than its utility, is the fact that you can save and repeat settings so that statistically comparative data can be acquired. It is extremely easy to use (just fill in the blanks) for precise and repeatable control of:
- Dual or single micro-perfusion pumps
- Flow profile to reduce dead volume delays
- Temperature and perfusion recording
- Data logging of perfusion and temperature
