SAN RAMON, CA – August 28, 2020 – RheoSense, Inc. is proud to introduce the new Chip Cleaning Station (CCS). This is a supplemental piece to our viscometer product line, compatible for: m-VROC, microVISC, microVISC-m and e-VROC. RheoSense's viscometers are powered by our core technology, also known as, VROC® technology. Using MEMS and microfluidic based technology, VROC chips have been widely adapted by labs, leading universities, and fortune 500 companies.
Although one of the key benefits with VROC technology is that you don't need to clean in between miscible samples, You still need to clean between immiscible samples and also after you are done with your measurements. Due to the nature of many samples, leaving it within the chip can lead to your samples crashing out. Samples such as oils can definitely be kept within the flow channel but samples such as proteins are not as ideal to leave in the flow channel. The importance of fast and efficient cleaning was the main inspiration for the new Chip Cleaning Station.
"The Chip Cleaning Station is a new addition to the family. Over a dozen prototypes were tested to arrive at this sleek and modern looking design. We spared no expense on the CCS from the chemical resistance fluid fittings, to the incredibly durable valves, and of course, the highly intelligent credit-card sized computing system contained inside." - Ecko Chen, Mechanical Engineer
Using factory protocols, or your own customized cleaning protocol, you can instruct the Chip Cleaning Station to thoroughly clean your chip in under 10 minutes* with just one click of a button. The until can select from 3 different solvents to clean your chips. This allows for autonomous cleaning of chips without having to load up solvents every time, use up instrument consumables, or occupy instrument time. Some examples of samples the Chip Cleaning Station can clean out include but are not limited to:
- Volatile Chemicals
- Oils and Lubricants
- Conductive/ Graphene Inks
- Electrolyte Solutions
- Skincare Serums and Fragrances
- Cannabis
- Proteins
- Opthalmic Solutions
- Whole Blood/Blood Plasma & Serum
"I am proud, that after months of hard work from me and the team here at RheoSense, we are ready to release our newest product; the Chip Cleaning Station. Our simply precise solution to your chip cleaning woes.” - Brandon Bell, Process Engineer
