A 6 channel μ-Slide with a non-adherent surface for flow experiments and fluorescence microscopy
Applications:
- Real-time imaging under either static or flow conditions
- Generation and long-term culture of 3D cell aggregates (e.g., spheroids and organoids) without any scaffold
- High resolution fluorescence microscopy of organoids, spheroids, embryoid bodies (EBs), and cells in suspension
- Background-free analysis of cell-cell interactions
- Prevention of stem cell differentiation due to attachment
- Culture of suspension cells in a permanently unattached state
- Self-assembly tumor spheroid formation assays
- 3D tumor spheroid models
Technical Features:
Channel µ-Slide with 6 independent channels and a non-removable polymer coverslip-bottom
µ-Slide VI 0.4 with a non-adherent, passivated Bioinert surface
Bioinert surface with long term passivation—superior to standard ULA surfaces:
- Ready-to-use without prior surface treatment or preparation
- No adsorption, coating, or binding of proteins, antibodies, enzymes, and other biomolecules
- Non-cytotoxic, biologically inert, and non-degradable
Easy connection to existing tubes and pumps via female Luer adapters
Imaging µ-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 the ibidi Polymer Coverslip bottom with a tissue culture-treated surface: µ-Slide VI 0.4 ibiTreat for various experiments with adherent cells
