Simple SummaryContent extracted from patent full text and abstract with AI.

This patent describes a device for perfusing (flowing liquids through) reaction chambers, utilizing two storage tanks—one with higher pressure for intake and one with lower pressure for outflow. Level sensors monitor the fluid levels, and a controllable pump manages flow. The system maintains an air pressure difference between the tanks to control and automate the perfusion process.

Use CasesContent extracted from patent full text and abstract with AI.

  • Perfusion in biological or chemical laboratories for cell culture or biochemical reactions.
  • Automated fluid management in laboratory experiments requiring precise control of inflow and outflow.
  • Medical devices that require controlled perfusion of fluids, such as organ preservation or artificial organ systems.
  • Industrial processes where precise liquid flow through reaction vessels is needed, such as chemical synthesis or pharmaceutical manufacturing.

BenefitsContent extracted from patent full text and abstract with AI.

  • Enables precise and automated control of liquid flow into and out of reaction chambers.
  • Improves safety and reliability by preventing overfilling or emptying, thanks to level sensors.
  • Reduces manual labor and risk of human error in maintaining fluid levels.
  • Adaptable to various laboratory, medical, and industrial settings requiring controlled perfusion.
  • Facilitates reproducibility and consistency in experiments or processes involving perfused reaction chambers.

Patent Abstract

The device for the perfusion of reaction chambers (2), comprises a storage tank (1) for the intake having excess pressure, a storage tank (3) for the outflow having lower pressure, level sensors (4) arranged in the tanks, and/or a controllable pump (5). The gas space (7, 8) and the tanks have an air pressure difference. An independent claim is included for a procedure for the perfusion of reaction chamber.
