ibidi Pump
The ibidi Pump can generate air pressure up to 100 mbar. The most precise working range is 5 to 95
mbar. Additionally, the pump can set the air flow direction. When using positive pressure, the pump
will expel air from the front port, and intake it from the rear port. When using negative pressure
the pump will take in air from the front port and expel it from the rear port. The use of positive or
negative pressure or air flow is detailed in Section
. Optimal conditions are achieved using positive
pressure for experiments. In addition to the generation of air pressure, the ibidi Pump controls the
switching times of the Fluidic Unit(s). Up to four Fluidic Units can be controlled simultaneously with
one pump. Communication with the computer is achieved via a double shielded USB interface (see
also Section
