iuvo MicroConduit Array Technology
An innovative device enabling complex cellular assays for better biology
iuvo MicroConduit Arrays are innovative devices that enable the use of more advanced cell models in drug screening with the goal of more accurate replication of human biology. These devices comply with SBS standards, and are fully compatible with common HTS liquid handling instrumentation. No specialized instrumentation is required to carry out assays or acquire the data. Three dimensional cell culture becomes easy to carry out, and the entire compartment is accessible to microscope-based HCS intruments as well as plate scanners. The microchannel environment reduces dilution of secreted signaling molecules, and the media can be sampled for analysis of secreted factors.

iuvo Passive Pumping Technology
Surface tension leads to pressure inside drops. All things equal, the pressure is higher inside smaller drops (~1/r). When two drops are connected by a channel, the pressure is equilibriated by flow. The smaller drop flows into the channel, replacing the channel contents.
