The manual smoking machine VC 1 is specifically designed and manu- factured to fulfill the requirements of in vitro experiments. Suitable for conventional and electronic cigarettes. Optimal when researching side- and mainstream smoke, it offers significant advantages over other commercial smoking machines. Generation of smoke with the shortest distance to cell cultures For the success of an experiment with mainstream tobacco smoke it is vital that the distance between the smoke generation (cigarette holders) and the VITROCELL® cell exposure system is as short as possible to avoid aging and to guarantee authentic smoke-composition. Objective VITROCELL® VC 1 SMOKING MACHINE Manual smoking machine with high tech features Open and flexible system / incorporation of other analytical tools The VC 1 machine is designed to allow easy access to all tubes, filters and the pumping system. Additional analytical equipment relevant to the experiment can be easily and individually installed. Freely programmable parameters The computer system facilitates highly flexible programming of the smoking process. All parameters of the smoking process like puff duration, puff volume, puff frequency and exhaust duration can be defined according to experiment requirements. High flexibility for all smoking regimes ISO, Health Canada Intense, Massachusetts, Square and Human Puff Profile regimes (option) can be smoked. An upgrade for Shisha smoking is available. Statistics Smoking process data are logged into an Excel® sheet for further processing. Machine dimensions are suitable for constrained lab workplaces The VC 1 machine is divided into 2 major components: computer, control box with smoking platform. Options for e-cigarettes • Square puff profiles • Higher puff volumes • Button actuator • Heating option 100
