VITROCELL Systems

VITROCELL® Cloud MAX Smallest nebulization volumes and high deposition efficiency The VITROCELL® Cloud Alpha MAX is our newest innovation in the Cloud family and presents a great leap forward in automated exposure of cell cultures. It combines high throughput testing with ease of use. The development is based on the well-known and frequently published VITROCELL® Cloud formats (6-, 12- and 24-well). It ’s functionality enables fully automated processes with an all-in-one control unit . Everyday experiments at the air/liquid inter face have never been easier. The new Cloud Alpha MAX series was developed as a result of numerous customer requests and is now capable to expose mammalian cell cultures in 6-, 12- or 24-well sized cell culture inserts. All commercial brands are supported. The Cloud system is suitable for nebulization of solutions and suspensions. Possible fields of application are screening of inhaled drugs, toxicity testing of inhaled substances such as chemicals or nanoparticles and virus research. The VITROCELL® Cloud Alpha MAX is designed for lower nebulization volumes and very high deposition efficiency. This is important when only small quantities of material are available or when expensive test substances need to be tested. The non-cell exposed area is reduced significantly by direct nebulization into exposure chambers with reduced chamber volume. A set of 3 nebulizers allows for simultaneous testing of 3 concentrations, or a combination of Microbalance, control liquid and suspension of the test substance. 3 positions can be exposed while 3 positions are prepared. Different chamber volumes available. Picture shows the Quar tz Crystal Microbalance Sensor in right position. The system has integrated controllers for the aerosol generators, adjustable via touchscreen. Ideal for small quantities of test substance 68
