Generation of smoke with the shortest distance to cell cultures
For the success of an experiment with mainstream tobacco smoke it is important that the distance between the smoke generation (cigarette holders) and the VITROCELL® cell cultivation and exposure system is as short as possible in order to avoid aging and to guarantee a smoke composition matching the real-life situation.
Open and flexible system / incorporation of other analytical tools
The robot is designed to allow easy access to all tubes, filters and the syringe system. Additional analytical equipment relevant to the experiment can be installed without difficulty by the operator.
Freely programmable parameters
The computer system allows highly flexible programming of the smoking process. All parameters of the smoking process like puff duration, puff volume, puff frequency and exhaust duration can be defined according to the needs of the experiment.
Statistics
The data of the smoking process are logged into an Excel® sheet for further processing.
Machine dimensions are suitable for constrained lab workplaces
The robot is divided into 3 major components: computer, control box and smoking platform. Only the smoking platform must be placed in the direct area of the experiment, the other components can be placed elsewhere in the lab.
All components are easy to clean
In particular the work with unfiltered mainstream smoke demands frequent cleaning of all parts of the robot which are in contact with the smoke. Cleaning must take place after each experiment in order to avoid any influence of residual products on the following experiment. Due to the easy access to all parts the cleaning can be done quickly and efficiently.
Compatibility with other systems in the lab
The robot can be integrated with and connected to other lab systems, e. g. analytical or automation systems.
Compliance with ISO 3308:2012
