µ-Slide 1 Well

A chambered coverslip with 1 large well for live cell imaging, immunofluorescence, and high-resolution microscopy

Applications

• Cultivation and high-resolution microscopy of cells and tissues
• Flexible cell culture assays—from adherent cell culture to bioprinting
• Immunofluorescence staining and fluorescence microscopy of living and fixed cells
• Live cell imaging over extended time periods
• Transfection assays
• Various microscopy techniques (e.g., widefield fluorescence, confocal microscopy, two-photon microscopy, FRAP, FRET, FLIM, and LSFM)
• Differential interference contrast (DIC) microscopy when used with a DIC lid

Technical Features

• Open µ-Slide with 1 large well and a non-removable polymer coverslip-bottom
• ibiTreat (tissue culture-treated) surface for optimal cell adhesion
• Imaging chamber slide with excellent optical quality for high-end microscopy
• Compatible with staining and fixation solutions
• Biocompatible polymer material—no glue, no leaking
• Also available with a Glass Coverslip Bottom: µ-Slide 1 Well Glass Bottom for special microscopic applications

The Principle of the µ-Slide 1 Well

The Coverslip Bottom

The µ-Slide 1 Well comes with a thin ibidi Polymer Coverslip Bottom that has the highest optical quality (comparable to glass) and is ideally suitable for high-resolution microscopy. It is also available as a µ-Slide 1 Well Glass Bottom for special microscopic applications.

The ibiTreat Surface

ibiTreat (tissue culture-treated) is our most recommended surface modification, because almost all adherent cells grow well on it without the need for any additional coating.
