Major Experimental Facilities
SLA Printer
It is used for 3D printing transparent objects which can be used for flow visualization. This printer uses light-reactive thermoset materials called “resin”. When SLA resins are exposed to certain wavelengths of light, short molecular chains join together, polymerizing monomers and oligomers into solidified rigid geometries.

Syringe Pump
Syringe pump, also known as a syringe driver, is an infusion pump that helps deliver an accurate amount of fluids, whether nutrients or medications, into the patient's body in a controlled manner. In our lab it is usually used for delivering patient specific flow rates for in vitro blood flow experiments.

Magnetic Strrier with Hot Plate
A magnetic stirrer with a hot plate is a device that combines heating and stirring capabilities. It features a flat hot plate for heating liquids and a motorized magnet underneath to stir the contents using a magnetic stir bar. In our lab it is used for preparing Newtonian and non Newtonian blood mimicking fluids.

Digital ultrasonic Bath Sonicator
An ultrasonic bath sonicator is a device that uses high-frequency sound waves to agitate in a liquid medium. It consists of a tank filled with solvent where samples are immersed, and features controls for adjusting parameters like sonication time and power. Used for tasks like cell disruption and sample homogenization, it offers enhanced mixing.
