Perfusion culture system PCS3c
Both bottom and top of the leak-proofed perfusion chamber have integrated glass windows to allow not only a visual control of the culture, but also its microscopic observation. To disconnect the chamber temporarily from the system, a coupling that maintains sterility may be used. The universal lower chamber unit has an build-in air bubble trap avoiding malnutrition of parts of the culture. Designing two different upper chamber units, it guarantees a high variability of applicable cell and tissue supports (membranes, filters, well inserts, etc.). The system may be completed with a cooling plate that allows a bench-top storage of the media bag at low temperature.

Specific advantages
- Ability to observe cultures microscopically inside the perfusion chamber
- Variety of cell and tissue supports applicable (membranes, filters, well inserts
- Built-in air bubble trap that avoids poor nutrition or partial drying of the culture
- Two-compartment chamber allows the application of a medium gradient, e.g. for drug testing
- Leak-proof set-up of the perfusion chamber
- Use of media bags for easy handling
