Ibidi – Labware – µ-Slide I Luer 3D
A µ-Slide With One Channel and Three Wells for Culturing Cells on a 3D Gel Matrix With Defined Flow
Product outline:
- Create a perfusable cell monolayer on a gel matrix for various flow and shear stress applications
- Establish and image endothelial barriers under in vivo-like conditions—no artificial filters or membranes
- Easy handling: samples are placed into the open wells; perfusion is applied after closing the wells
Applications
- Culture of adherent cells on a 3D gel matrix under flow conditions
- Transendothelial migration studies under flow conditions
- Establishment and microscopic read-out of endothelial barrier assays (without any artificial membrane)
- Simulation of blood vessels with endothelial cell culture on a soft substrate
- Long-term or short-term cell culture perfusion experiments with defined shear stress and optimal nutrient supply into 3D structures
- Apical-basal cell polarity assays
- Cell barrier model assays with apical-basal gradients
- Cell boundary assays without filters or porous membranes
- Rolling and adhesion assays using leukocytes
- Inflammation studies
- Transport studies
