Our Flexcell® Pressure Reservoir enhances the performance of either your Flexcell® FX-5000™ Tension or Compression system.
The Flexcell® Pressure Reservoir serves two primary roles. One role is that of a system matched volumetric storage device. The other is that of a pneumatic "shock absorber." Whether this device is used in conjunction with a house vacuum source, a stand alone vacuum pump or a positive pressure pneumatic compressor, your system performance is enhanced by the addition of a Flexcell® Pressure Reservoir.
The TRIVAC D8B is a rotary vane vacuum pump from Oerlikon Leybold Vacuum. It is designed to pump gases/vapors out of vessels and vacuum systems down into the medium vacuum pressure range. The pump is not designed to handle hazardous gases, extremely aggressive or corrosive media, or greater than atmospheric concentrations of oxygen.
Provide equibiaxial strain (uniform radial and circumferential strain) to cells cultured on BioFlex® membranes.
Comprised of a Lexan® plate with six individually removable Delrin® planar cylinders (25 mm diameter).
Plates are positioned on the BioFlex® baseplate such that each post is centered beneath each 35 mm well of a BioFlex® culture plate, and the cylinder top is flush with the membrane.
Larger diameter posts (28 mm and 31 mm) that yield lower strain ranges are available upon request.
FlexStop™ for BioFlex® Loading Stations™
A reusable valved rubber stopper that inserts into the underside of a BioFlex® culture plate well to prevent vacuum-induced deformation.
