Umbilical connection for external couplings or difficult to access applications.

Some stopped-flow applications require special mounting options. This is often the case on a beamline where there is no room to mount the observation head directly on top of the mixer body.

The umbilical connection allows the stopped-flow mixer body and the observation head, (with last mixing stage), to be separated by up to 45 cm. With the umbilical connection you can use Bio-Logic’s advanced mixing technology with more devices, and in more applications. The umbilical connection is compatible with all premium stopped-flow instruments.

Applications where use of umbilical links may be necessary:

• Installation on a synchrotron beamline or a neutron scattering line,
  ● Cryo-stopped-flow experiments at sub-zero temperatures,
  ● High-temperature stopped-flow (T ≥ 80°C),
  ● Cooling of the observation head and flow lines while the rest of the instrument is maintained at a different temperature (when stock solutions are not very stable at experimental temperature),
  ● Positioning of the observation head in a spectrometer magnet (for this application all parts will be metal free),
  ● Coupling to FT-IR/EPR spectrometer or to dual comb spectrometer (eg. IRis-F1 from IRsweep)

Applications include:

● Denaturation studies,
● Binding reaction,
● PH denaturation,
● Dissociation constants
