Recirculating pump, Kima, for Cell Culture in Flow Chambers, Cellix (CAT#: STEM-ME-0247-WXH)

Kima pump is a microfluidic pump designed to aid cell culture (e.g. endothelial cells) under physiological conditions (shear flow) in various biochips and flow chambers, including Cellix’s Vena8 Endothelial+ biochips where it is possible to culture 8 cell monolayers simultaneously over 24–48 hours. The Kima pump is controlled by the iKima application for use with the iPod touch and iPhone. The Kima pump is placed inside a standard incubator while the iPod touch or iPhone, as it’s controller, sits outside the incubator. The Kima pump connects easily to Cellix’s Vena8 Endothelial+ biochip and other manufacturer’s flow chambers via fully autoclavable tubing and delivers pulses of fresh media to cells seeded inside the microchannels of the biochip. The iKima app is available for download from Apple’s iTunes store.
