Short Description: Onyx is a versatile microfluidic platform designed for high-throughput generation and manipulation of droplets and semi-permeable capsules. It enables precise liquid handling, single-cell analysis, and customizable workflows in biotechnology and life science research.
Produser: Atrandi Onyx, Cat. No. MHN-ONYX1
Equipment Information:
- Precise liquid handling via four independent syringe pumps integrated with microfluidic chips.
- Active droplet manipulation (merging, injection) using an electric field (forcefield generator).
- Integrated high-speed microscopy and camera (up to ~4000 fps) for real-time process monitoring.
- Built-in image analysis (size, occupancy, uniformity, timelapse) using machine learning.
- Fully customizable workflows without assay lock-in for flexible experimental design.
- Wireless control and embedded UI for remote experiment monitoring and data handling.
- Applications: single-cell analysis, high-throughput screening, and multi-step assays.
Operating principle: microfluidic flow control and electric-field-assisted droplet manipulation combined with real-time imaging and data analysis.
Technical Specification:
- Integrated system with 4 independent syringe pumps enabling precise flow control (1-9999 µL/h) for microfluidic experiments.
- High-speed camera (up to ~4000 fps, 1080p) with real-time imaging of droplet formation and microchannel processes.
- Integrated microscopy (≈1 µm/px resolution, brightfield LED illumination) for tracking droplets and particles.
- Forcefield generator (0-1 kV, 10-20 kHz, 2 channels) for electric-field-based droplet manipulation (merging, injection).
- Flow control system handling sample volumes ~0.01-50 mL with ~0.5% accuracy for reproducible results.
