Microfluidic Be-Flow Chip

Experiment in triplicate on a single chip

BE-FLOW allows the user to perform cell-based assays under perfusion, and is especially suited to the in-vitro simulation of physiological environments involving flow and shear stress mechanical stimulation. Bespoke chips can also be considered dependent on your requirements.

Example applications include:

• Live cell imaging under flow-derived shear stress.
• Rolling and adhesion assays of suspended cells such as platelets, leukocytes and monocytes on substrates such as adhesion proteins or confluent cell monolayers.
• Mimicking flow conditions in blood vessels.
• Long term culture of adherent cells under mechanical stimulation.

Features:

• 3 channels allow triplicate experiments on a single chip.
• Compatible with any laboratory pumping system.
• Allows for vast reductions of media and supplement required for experiments.
• Excellent optical properties, with high transparency and low auto-fluorescence, allows real time imaging through microscopy.
