TOKAI HIT
‘Plug and Play’ for easy perfusion culture.
‘Micro’ בVivo’ Solutions
In recent years, microscale research has been conducted in a wide range of fields such as medicine, biotechnology, and chemistry,
Various operations and analyses that were difficult to perform with conventional technologies are now being conducted.
One of the most advanced technologies attracting attention is "Microphysiological systems".
Microphysiological systems simulate the functions of living tissues and organs.
Tokai Hit has developed a ‘Micro’ x ‘ViVo’ solution, MiViVo®, to support research in various fields, including regenerative medicine and drug discovery.
The “Mi” also stands for “My,” and we hope to propose tailor-made solutions for researchers' original experiments.
Features

Microfluidic Chip + Constant Pressure/Constant Flow Perfusion
The BPU constant-pressure pumping unit enables perfusion with a variety of microfluidic tips, including those of your own making. Simply by connecting the chip, perfusion that mimics pulsatile motion or perfusion with controlled flow and pressure can be realized. Two pumps are provided as standard equipment, allowing experiments under different pressure and flow conditions.
This product is especially suitable for experiments on vascular and circulatory systems.

Perfusion with Culture Insert
Tokai Hit has also developed a pump system that enables perfusion culture by utilizing commercially available cell culture inserts as they are. Since a commercially available 35 mm dish is used as the base of the culture surface, microscopic observation is also possible. In addition, the system has two culture vessels, each of which can be used to freely change organ sets, making it useful for analysis of inter-organ crosstalk mechanisms.
This product is particularly suitable for studies requiring mechanical flow, such as cilia in the lungs and intestines, and for pharmacokinetic and toxicological evaluation studies.
This culture system enables perfusion culture with “Cell Desk LF” manufactured by Sumitomo Bakelite. The use of the ‘Cell Desk LF’ coverslip, which is made of plastic, allows cells to be easily collected and transferred, and can also be removed for fluorescence observation. Recommended for easy perfusion culture using coverslips.
Perfusion Startup Kit
Perfusion and medium exchange can be performed using commercially available 35 mm dishes.
Perfusion can be performed with the lid on, preventing the risk of contamination.
Recommended for those who perform perfusion culture for the first time or for those who prefer simple medium exchange.
