System requirements
To achieve optimal results using the MicroEye® the following basic components are required:
- A perfusion pump – which can be connected to the luer-lock fitting on the MicroEye®
- A physiological solution such as saline – fluids should be approved for iv administration
- Dialysate collection vial or online sensor – various vials and sample tubes can be used.
Ideally these should be suitable for the collection and storage of low volumes (circa low µL to sub-mL range, depending on collection period required). Many online sensors can be fitted for point-of-care measurement for stand-alone or integrated display systems.
(Right: Once in position, a physiological fluid is pumped through the MicroEye® and substances that are collected from the blood are analysed with an on line sensor)
Probe Scientific can recommend a range of suitable components and sensors for use with its MicroEye® device to achieve optimal results and to develop more applications for this versatile device.
The company is also developing, in association with world-leading specialists, a range of devices to deliver fully online, continuous and automated monitoring for a wide range of substances that may prove beneficial in the care of patients.
Probe Scientific is working with healthcare professionals and intensivists developing the tools to provide better patient management and care particularly in terms of biochemical, immunological and pharmacological monitoring.
