Vitrocell Systems GmbH products

The VITROCELL 6 CF module system has been specifically designed and engineered to facilitate research of the direct exposure of human cell cultures to airborne substances such as gases, complex mixtures, nanoparticles and fibers. The system authentically simulates the conditions of anatomical exposure. Adaptors for 12 and 24-well sized, inserts make this exposure system an optimal, universal testing platform.

This system is specifically designed for dose-controlled and spatially uniform deposition of liquid aerosols on cells cultured at the air/liquid interface. The aerosol is applied for a short time of approx. 3 – 4 minutes.

A sampling bag can be easily and directly connected to the module using the VITROCELL® SPIDER. The bag can be filled from various sources. If samples must be taken from the indoor/outdoor environment, VITROCELL® offers a special vacuum filling system for the sampling bag which is then transferred to the laboratory. This procedure is not suitable if the test atmosphere contains particles. If the collection of complex mixtures containing particles is required, contact us directly for an individual solution.

There are various options to create individual mixtures with different dose levels. With the VITROCELL Dynamic Gas Mixing System, it is possible to generate different dilutions of the test aerosol.

The VITROCELL Spiking System (VSS) has been specifically designed to provide optimal results when exposing gas mixtures from solvents, gases and vapors.

The VITROCELL BioAerosol generator has been specifically developed and engineered for applications where the test substance must be dosed in smallest quantities. It works at low flows of e.g. 2-6 l/min. and has a low dead space.

The manual smoking machine VC 1 is designed to fulfill the requirements of in vitro experiments with cultivated cells, e. g. from humans. For conventional and electronic cigarettes. It is suitable for working with side- and mainstream smoke, and offers significant advantages over other commercial smoking machines.

The manual smoking machine VC 1 S-TYPE is specifically designed and manufactured to fulfill the requirements of chemical characterization and in vitro experiments. Suitable for conventional and electronic cigarettes. Optimal when researching whole aerosol, it offers significant advantages over other commercial smoking machines.

Universal dilution system for VITROCELL 6 and 12 module family. This universal dilution system has entry and exit nozzles for the aerosol stream plus 2 jets for air. 3 or 4 fittings lead to the VITROCELL module inlets. The inlets aspirate the required dose from the constant flow of diluted test substance through the dilution system.

Due to its unique bypass system, the humidified air can be exactly adjusted to the required level. This state-of-the-art operation uses a permeation unit thus ensuring a condensation-free operation.
