vivoCube+
Your All-In-One Fluid Control Solution for Microfluidics
⟩ Smooth, accurate pressure control
⟩ Compact, self-contained unit
⟩ Fully programmable
⟩ Integrated with vivoChip
vivoVerse's vivoCube®+ is the latest version of our popular vivoCube microfluidics controller used in labs worldwide. Reengineered from the ground up, it provides users with an all-in-one solution for delivering, smooth accurate pressure driven flow for their experiments. It features two independently controllable pressure outputs supplied by an internal pump to drive flow from different liquid reservoirs, or supply fast, accurate pressure stimuli. The vivoCube+ is fully portable and more compact than other microfluidic flow controllers to allow it to fit in anywhere on your benchtop. No PC is required. Users can program virtually any series of pressure sequences directly on the unit using the intuitive vivoCubeOS and walk away.
The vivoCube+ continues to be ready out-of-the-box for use with our vivoChip microfluidic devices, with pre-programmed pressure cycles that have been optimized to load and immobilize C. elegans and other nematodes of all stages for high resolution imaging. However, the vivoCube+ is suitable for many more applications. Contact us to find out if it can work for you.
