Precision ion channel screening

Detail of the precision ion channel screening Dynaflow Resolve chip showing flow from the microfluidic channels into the recording chamber.

The Dynaflow Resolve system from Fluicell is a high precision ion channel screening platform that elevates your patch clamp setup into a multi-channel drug screening powerhouse.

Dynaflow Resolve uses a unique open volume fluidic design to provide solution exchange across 16 individual flow channels, offering excellent speed, control and flexibility.

With Dynaflow Resolve, you can test any ion channel in any patch clamp configuration using any type of drug compound. Enhance your patch clamp setup with a powerful and reliable solution exchange platform that has become the system of choice among pharmaceutical companies across the world.

Full platform, modular design

The full Dynaflow Resolve system for precision ion channel screening, mounted in an inverted microscope with labels for each individual part.

The Dynaflow Resolve is a multi-module platform consisting of a microchannel chip, an automatic stage, a movement controller and gamepad, and a syringe pump. The platform is built for use with most inverted microscope designs.

The chip has 16 microchannels and is composed of a glass microfluidic chip and a coated PEEK interface, which forms the wells and the recording chamber. The chip is reusable and developed to reduce the risk for non-specific binding of “sticky compounds”, such as antibodies and protein fragments.

The automatic stage uses Fluicell positioning technology and enables precise positioning of the chip. The stage can either be controlled manually using the gamepad controller or automatically through the Dynaflow Commander software.

Dynascout

Jumpstart your Dynaflow experience

The Dynascout is a low-cost single use version of Dynaflow Resolve. Dynascout is quick to set up, easy to use and uses the same microfluidic technology as the full platform.

With the Dynascout, you can test up to eight different compounds and concentration levels. The system is designed to function with any inverted microscope and any patch-clamp setup, in the same way as the full Dynaflow Resolve platform.

The Dynascout is the perfect solution for early exploratory research or if you want to test the Dynaflow technology with your patch-clamp setup or ion channels.

The Dynascout kit includes Dynascout chip, lid, chip holder, syringe pump, tubing and syringes.

Full control, Fully customizable

Dynaflow Commander gives you full control over scanning stage movement with the ability to create complex custom perfusion protocols and pharmacological assays.

The software provides accurate and precise synchronization of solution exchange with real-time tagging of the acquired data, giving you all the necessary data to perform in-depth biochemical analysis.

The Dynaflow software suite comes with a detailed protocol editor that lets you design perfusion protocols and chip layouts separately, making it possible to combine a single protocol with multiple chip contents.

  • Extensive protocol and chip layout customization
  • High movement, timing and triggering accuracy
  • Advanced automation capabilities

 

We use the Dynaflow Resolve in the context of drug-profiling at the NMI-TT Pharmaservices. It is a very reliable and efficient tool for automated compound application with excellent performance in fast solution exchange. The new reusable glass chip design offers improved performance with sticky compounds, so that we now started to use it in safety pharmacology studies, where the highest standards in accuracy of compound application have to be met.

Dr. Timm Danker, NMI Technologie Transfer GmbH

We bought the Dynaflow Resolve system because we needed a manual patch clamp system with reliable and fast solution application. Compared to our conventional patch clamp system, the Dynaflow offers low solution quantity demand, fast solution exchange and reliable drug application.
In conclusion, after several years of use, we are satisfied with the Dynaflow Resolve system. It provides reliable and fast solution exchange. It is especially suitable for detailed characterization of drug effects on ion channel function.

We believe that the Dynaflow Resolve System is the most easy to use, and robust, perfusion system available for whole cell patch-clamp recordings of isolated cells. We almost never have problems with unstable flows, and the solution exchange times are very reliable. The system is also easy to clean which minimize the risks of contamination of drugs compared to other tubing systems which are made of plastic materials.
