Description
Speed, Reliability, Low Sample Volume
Measuring samples as small as 65 µL and returning results in just 35 seconds, our new Vi-CELL MetaFLEX bioanalyte analyzer evaluates pH, pO2, pCO2, glucose, lactate, electrolytes and more. With less maintenance, more reliability and a surprisingly small footprint, it’s a sophisticated research solution that profiles test samples quickly, easily and accurately—keeping your test cell cultures in balance, viable and growing.
