Aria, an automated perfusion system for spatial omics
The Aria is an integrated perfusion system designed to automate the delivery of up to 10 different fluids to one chip or perfusion chamber. The system is easy to use, compact, and can interact with TTL-enabled microscopy systems. It can perform any perfusion protocol including “stop flow” conditions for studies requiring longer imaging times. Fluigent’s Aria automates perfusion operations that have typically been performed manually, providing more reproducible results with minimum cross-contamination.
Benefits and features:
- Save time with automated perfusion protocols
- Compatible with long-term perfusion studies
- Intuitive and easy-to-use: individual methods can be created, saved, and quickly recalled for a run
- Incubation steps and times are reproducible
- Reliable results: the number of manual operations is reduced and the software automates most steps from calibration to cleaning
- Fits any experimental design
- Designed for microscopy room experiments: “dark mode” provides visibility to monitor the study progress
Target applications:
Fluigent’s Aria is an all-inclusive, user-friendly automated perfusion system most suitable for spatial omics. It’s an ideal solution for Immunolabeling, FISH, and DNA-paint experiments but can easily be adapted to other applications where sequential controlled cellular perfusion or timed injection protocols are needed. Using microfluidics for spatial omics helps prevent the accumulation of cell debris and maintains the location of regions of interest (ROI) under the microscope.
