Fluid & Cell Transfer Pump
The i-FILL® pump has demonstrated comparable impact on cell viability to the best-in-class pumps for this application. Even after extended recirculation times, the impact on cells was minimal and comparable to specially designed peristaltic pumps for live cell transfer.
i-FILL Pump Provides Best in Class Performance for Live Cell Transfer
Intellitech collaborated with University of South Florida to Perform a Comparison study of Different Pump Technologies' Impact on Cell Viability. The i-FILL Pump Compared Head-to-Head Against a Leading Peristaltic Pump
The study examined the application of i-FILL Micro pumps for transporting live cells. The team conducted viability experiments with sample volume suspensions of NIH-3t3 fibroblast cells and examined their cell integrity via live-cell imaging. An approximate cell density of 3.57 x 105 cells/ml and a flow rate of 1.9 L/min was used at sampling times (circulation) of 5, 20, and 60 minutes.
The results proved the i-FILL is a viable alternative to peristaltic pumps for live cell transport. Fill out the form below to receive a copy of the report’s Executive Summary.
The i-FILL pump has been trusted as a precision dispensing pump in drug product, media and diagnostic reagent filling applications for more than 20 years. It is now proven to be a highly capable, low-shear, live-cell transfer pump for critical applications where peristaltic pumps fall short. Precise control of dispensed volume, flow rate, acceleration and deceleration with this hybrid diaphragm/positive displacement pump provides unmatched accuracy and repeatability on dispensed volume, flow rate and fluid flow characteristics. Materials in the single-use fluid path have been qualified for cell suspensions and drug product applications.
