VCPlus-8 8-channel pressure infusion system
The VCPlus-8P is an 8-channel pressure infusion system, optimised for focal applications requiring extremely fast and accurate solution exchange.
Ideal for patch clamp recording protocols, cell imaging or demanding pharmacological tests (dose-response curves).
Features of the VCPlus-8 Channel Pressurized System (VCPlus-8P)
- Pressure infusion for rapid focal flow, suitable for small quantities of solution (e.g. dose-response)
- Pinch valves (15-20 ms) or isolation valves (2-4 ms) for ultra-fast solution changeover
- Electronic valve control via Valve Commander software, analogue or TTL input, USB-C interface
- Complete package including: magnetic holder, VCPlus-8 controller, power supply, USB-C cable, spill sensor and software
- Focal options with Quartz MicroManifold® for minimal dead volume and use of very fine tubing (100-200 µm ID)
