BioFlux System for Live Cell Assays Under Controlled Shear Flow (Fluxion Biosciences)

That's actually the nice part about the system...the fluid doesn't run through those lines. Those tubes are only for air pressure, which drives the flow of media, cells, etc, from the well into the microfluidic channels. So as long as you heat the well plate (see previous response), you're entire experiment including reserve fluids will be kept at the same temp.

This also helps with clean up....those tubes never have to be cleaned since it is only sterile air going though them.

Yes, we have a few different heating options depending on your scope and application requirements. We have an integrated heater plate for most of our systems, as well as full environmental enclosures for more controlled applications.

Using our pneumatic approach, air bubbles are avoided. We have a simple priming step which fills the channels, then they're free from bubbles for the duration of the experiment. We still recommend the basic precautions such as degassing solutions.
