Flow Type
Specifies the direction or type of flow for this step (forward, reverse,
pulsed (square wave), oscillation)
ON/HI (s)
When using pulsed (square wave) or oscillatory flow, specifies how long
the valves remain in a position to allow the fluid flow to continue
unhindered or flow in the forward direction, respectively. For normal
forward or reverse (unidirectional) flow, this value remains at 1.00.
OFF/LO (s)
When using pulsed (square wave) or oscillatory flow, specifies how long
the valves remain in a position to stop the fluid flow to the device or
cause it to flow in the reverse direction, respectively. For normal forward
or reverse (unidirectional) flow, this value remains at 1.00.
Shear
(dyne/cm^2)
The value of shear stress to be applied to the cells in this step.
Duration
(h:m:s.ss)
Time to spend in this step (hours:minutes:seconds.milliseconds)
GoTo
To create a loop, indicate which step to go back to. The
GoTo
step must
always be a step number before the current step.
Loop
Indicates how many times to loop between the
GoTo
step and the current
step.
Summary Table
This table is a listing of the current steps in the regimen. Selecting a row
from this table will allow the parameters of the step to be viewed and
modified.
Insert Step
Insert a step into the regimen before or after the current step.
Delete Step
Delete the currently selected step.
New Regime
Clear all parameters and start a new regime. Type in a new name under
Regime Name
and select
Insert Step
.
Delete Regime
Delete the currently selected regime.
Save Regime
Save a new or modified regime.
Return
Exit this panel and return to the
Main Panel
Check Shear
Check the shear stresses entered in your regime to see if they are
achievable with the apparatus, pump and tubing size that you are using.
