NASA Cell Culture Card
Product Category: CUSTOM PRODUCTS
Fluid Card Development
for Cell Culture
in Space
Our prototyping and manufactu-
ring capability supported the de-
velopment of a fluidic card for cell culture in space. The succe-
ssful launch in December 2006 proved that cells could be grown and monitored autonomously in a satellite-based cell culture system.
Bio-Compatible Fluidic Platform Performs Flawlessly in Orbit
The 12 well fluidic card contained a single inlet to feed all ten sample chambers. Each chamber had a membrane at the inlet and outlet to prevent sample loss and cross contami-
nation. This arrangement also allowed even filling across all ten chambers.
Our expertise in biocompatible materials, our ability to prototype and modify designs to meet changing requirements allowed NASA to achieve flawless device performance in support of its mission. To learn more about this program please see our publication: NASA Fluidic Card (PDF:116K)
Molecular Diagnostic Product
Product Category: CUSTOM PRODUCTS
Fluid card laminate and pump for a Molecular Diagnostic Product Development
ALine was honored as a supplier to Osmetech, the 2009 winner of the Medical Design Excellence Award for their eSensor XT8 multiplexed molecular diagnostic platform.
When Osmetech needed twenty four hour turnaround for design or material modifications to the laminate components, ALine delivered. Our design and engineering expertise, as well as rapid prototyping, and volume production capability supported Osmetech from early prototyping through clinical trials to product launch. The laminate portion that contains the fluid channel and a microfluidic pumping capability that interfaces with the sensor array is shown below.
During the course of the development program, many design iterations and choices of materials were evaluated.
ALine’s rapid prototyping made it possible to easily change materials and designs and optimize performance to meet critical clinical trial timelines.
The photo shows the laminate layer which bonds both the injection molded sample introduction port and the electrochemical sensor array and contains the fluidic circuit.
