Flexcell Cell Stretching Bioreactors for Life Science Research
Applies a defined, controlled, static or variable duration cyclic tension to 2D/3D cell cultures
Multiple frequencies and waveforms can be programmed via FlexSoft software in one regimen
Simulates in vivo strains in cells from muscle, lung, heart, skin, tendon, cartilage, and bone
Used in over 1300 laboratories worldwide, and cited in over 4000 research publications
Particularly designed for the in vitro analysis of biomechanical applications, Flexcell´s innovative systems enable the user to induce and observe the results of cyclic or static stress on 2D/3D cell cultures and tissues.
For tension applications, Flexcell offers the main FX-6000 Tension System which functions with both regulated vacuum pressure and positive air pressure to effectively move the membranes of flexible-bottomed culture plates.
For a tighter budget and low throughput, Flexcell offers the FLEX JR. Tension System with a single plate baseplate kit. Flexcell’s Compression System regulates positive air pressure to compress tissue samples or 3D cell cultures in vitro. The user-friendly Streamer System Shear Stress Device and the optionally available accessories FlexFlow and Osci-Flow allow the investigation of shear stress effects on 2D cell cultures.
Furthermore, Flexcell offers various Microscope Devices to be used with Tension and Compression Systems. All Flexcell products can be purchased through the exclusive distributor for Europe, Dunn Labortechnik, in Germany.
