Would you like to mimic specific in vivo conditions, such as unidirectional shear stress, nutrient supply and waste removal in your 3D cell and organoid cultures? Don’t want to mess with pumps, air bubbles and a tangle of tubing? Imagine a rocker that can recreate in vivo flow of culture medium, including pulsed flow from a beating heart, rather than just the swoosh swash from a typical rocker.
The RoboRockerTM, designed for CO2 incubators, can be easily programmed to do most anything. The tilting can be pulsed to simulate flow from a beating heart. The rocking can be paused for up to 24 hours each direction to allow media flow in specialized consumables, or it can simply maintain steady mixing of the culture media.
Want to create a high shear flow to promote directional growth in cells (e.g. endothelial cells)? Not a problem. The RoboRocker can even advance from one stored program to the next on a predetermined schedule.
The RoboRocker comes with a color touch screen for easier programming. It also comes with a platform or a rack in which culture plates clip into place. Both these options allow enough gas exchange for your cells.
We believe the RoboRocker can do just about anything. However, if you need another feature, let us know. We love a challenge.
