Vena4Y / Vena4Y2

The Vena4Y/Vena4Y2 biochips are Cellix’s first biochips containing branching microchannels and are compatible with fluorescent microscopy.

Using Cellix’s Mirus™ Nanopump, samples are perfused through the biochip:

Features

• Cells and drug compounds may be perfused via dual-injection at the Y-channel end facilitating multi-laminar flow of two streams.
• Cells may be perfused at the single channel end for the analysis of platelet and/or platelet-leukocyte interaction at the Y-junction.
• This biochip is ideal for studying chemotactic gradients via dual-injection and thrombosis at the site of such branching micro blood vessels as seen in vivo.

Applications

• Chemotactic gradients: Dual injection of cells and drug compounds at Y-channel for multi-laminar flow
• Thrombosis at branching micro blood vessels as seen in vivo: Analysis of platelet and/or platelet-leukocyte interaction at Y-junction
