Internal Motor Group Activation Pack (IM-GAP) The IM-GAP provides a third level of fluid containment and allows 8 FPA’s to be processed simultaneously. It utilizes an internal centerline DC-motor drive mechanism to autonomously initiate and terminate experiments based on preprogrammed instructions. Unlike the previous GAP designs, the IM-GAP shell is constructed of aluminum to improve heat transfer properties. The IM-GAP is housed within an ICM v.3 for computer and individual thermal control. Contact Dr. Alex Hoehn, Associate Director of Engineering, for additional information.
