The ONIX Perfusion System was developed by CellASIC to overcome the limitations encountered with traditional microfluidics setups. Operations that used to take expert engineers hours of tedious tinkering can now be performed in a few minutes on any benchtop. This system is the equivalent of 8 syringe pumps, a perfusion chamber apparatus, and a CO₂ incubator— at a fraction of the cost and greatly improved quality and ease of use.

A low-profile manifold connects the control system with the microfluidic plates. The manifold is set on top of the wells of the plate, and forms an air tight seal using a vacuum mechanism. The wells are addressed with pneumatic pressure to drive liquids into the microfluidic channels. There is no contact between the flow system and the biological solutions (on the microfluidic plate), preventing contamination and lengthy clean-up. Various manifold layouts are available to address different plate formats and application types.

The Mammalian Microfluidic plate enables time lapsed imaging of cultured mammalian cells with solution switching. The Microfluidic cell culture region ensures optimal cell health during long term microscopy studies.  

In this plate, the cells are loaded very gently to avoid any damage that may be caused to the cell. These cells also have the advantage of being adherent so have no need to be trapped.
