A flow through μ-Slide for bifurcation studies and blood vessel simulation
- Perfect simulation of live conditions in branching blood vessels
- Allows flows in two different directions under different angle
Applications
- Rolling and adhesion of leukocytes on endothelial cells cultured under flow
- Simulation of the bifurcation of blood vessels for arteriosclerosis research
- Cell-cell interaction studies and cell-drug interaction screenings under flow conditions
Technical Features
- 30° and 45° angles to simulate the bifurcation of blood vessels
- Easy connection to tubes and pumps
- Fully compatible with high resolution microscopy and immunofluorescence staining
- Defined shear stress and shear rate levels
- The flow is always laminar, i.e., turbulent flows* are not possible
