Micropumps for Cell Culturing and Tissue Engineering

19 Jan 2011

This application note shows that the mp6 micropump provides a unique solution for active cell culturing by combining a smooth flow profile and widely adjustable flow rates together with robustness and compatibility with cell culturing media. It also shows that cell cultures with active perfusion can be run for more than three weeks in total.
