Description
- Simulate physiological conditions: Mimic in vivo-like conditions for cells that are physiologically exposed to shear stress (e.g., endothelial and epithelial cells)
- Perform long-term flow: Establish cell culture under defined flow conditions for days to several weeks
- Stay flexible: Compatible with various cell culture slides (not limited to ibidi slides), all incubators, and incubated microscopes
Applications:
- Defined shear stress in long-term culture (e.g., endothelial cells, kidney, or biofilm)
- Live cell imaging and immunofluorescence for analyzing shear stress response
- Mimicking shear stress conditions in microcapillary, venous, and arterial flow
- Rolling and adhesion of suspended cells on substrates
- Stopped-flow experiments
- 3D cell culture: interstitial flow
Technical Details:
- Application of unidirectional, pulsatile, and oscillating flow for simulating turbulent flow
- Long-term cell cultivation with proven cell survival for days to several weeks
- Software-calculated, defined shear stress
- Wide range of flow rates (ca. 0.1–40 ml/min) and shear stress (ca. 0.3–150 dyn/cm2)
- High throughput possible: supports up to four parallel Fluidic Units per ibidi Pump
