Y2 Microfluidic Perfusion Chamber for Yeast Cells

The Y2 plate is optimized for time-lapsed imaging of yeast cells with solution exchange. The unique microfluidic cell trapping region holds yeast cells in a uniform focal plane for time-lapse cell microscopy during perfusion flow. Two independent flow units (with identical flow properties) allow simultaneous imaging of two sets of cell/medium combinations. Also see Y16 microfluidic plate.

	Key Features: • Microfabricated cell trap ensures single focal plane • Switch between 2 medium solutions • Perfusion culture on your microscope for 3+ days • Two fully independent perfusion units • Pipet friendly sample wells • #1.5 glass bottom for optimal imaging quality Ordering Info Instructions Technical Note


Microfluidic Live Cell Imaging Benefits


	Image Quality

	An innovative microfluidic cell trap maintains yeast cells in a single focal plane, even during budding. The cells are held by an elastic ceiling against a #1.5 thickness optical glass slide for superior time-lapsed imaging quality.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

	Flow Switching

	The precisely fabricated microfluidic chambers allow medium to perfuse the trapped cells without affecting focal position. Two upstream solution reservoirs allow rapid switching of the expsoure solution during time-lapsed imaging to monitor real time cell responses.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

	Long Term Culture

	The continuous perfusion environment maintains cell health for long periods of time on your microscope stage. Temperature and gas atmosphere can also be controlled with the microfluidic system.

	Time Saving

	Maximize your microscope time by obtaining higher quality images, longer timecourses, parallel units, repeatable experiment conditions, and reduced setup times.
