The vivoChip®-2x platform is a microfluidic-based technology that streamlines C. elegans immobilization by aligning them in parallel for high-resolution imaging. The platform has a proprietary design to immobilize animals in 40 parallel channels within 3 minutes, while orienting them in their lateral axis for high-resolution imaging at high speeds.
Each vivoChip®-2x is a single PDMS block on a thin #1.0 glass substrate with a 130-170 µm thickness. The PDMS block has two independent immobilization devices, each with 40 trapping channels, one inlet port, and one outlet port.
