Process Validation Module

Code:

A040-650

Description:

Process Validation Module (PVM), µ-CP 2.1

The Process Validation Module (PVM) is an accessory for the µ-CP 2.1 device. The PVM allows to combine µ-Contact-Printing and high end inverse microscopy. PVM can be simply placed on the stage of an inverse microscope. The processes of PDMS-stamp inking and contact-printing of glass slides can be observed by fluorescence microscopy. All parts of PVM, like PDMS-stamp, casting station, stamping unit and software are compatible to the system µ-CP2.1. This compatibility guarantees, that technological parameters developed using the PVM, can be used directly onto the µ-CP 2.1 system.
Process Validation Module, µ-CP 2.1

Features:

  • No drying station (drying has to performed onto the µ-CP2.1 device or manually)
  • Stamping unit to perform µ-contact prints onto standard glass slides (25mmx75mmx1mm). The z-drive allows the addressing of a 45mm distance
  • Substrate holder for standard slides only - no heating or cooling processes. The substrate is not movable in relation to the fixed PDMS-stamp, only one contact print position is given. But the substrate holder can be adapted onto customers inverse microscope (Zeiss, Olympus, Leica etc.)
  • Casting station of µ-CP2.1 contains 10 pieces of the polycarbonate- stamp body, 11 PDMS Sylgard 184, PDMS casting accessories and the technology description to fabricate stamps with PDMS-membranes (GeSiM-Patent)
  • Windows-based software
  • Electronics with power supply and RS 232 PC-interface, with integrated pressure pump and pressure controller (guarantees autarchic work on your microscope without the µ-CP2.1 system), no further additional media pre-conditions
  • System Geometry (L x W x H) = 12cm x 12cm x 20cm
  • Total Weight: 1.5 kg
