Ausführung
1 BTF-Messkopf (Fläche Zellkultur mit konstanten Schubspannungen: ca. 28 cm² ) mit Steuergerät. PC gesteuerte Schubspannungsapplikation, verschiedene Schubspannungsprofile im Bereich von 0 – ca. 100 dyn/cm².
Optional
Mikroskop, Impedanzspektroskopie, Mass Flow Controller, Klimatisierung
Die Vorteile auf einen Blick
- Generation of highly precise shear stress profiles: e.g. used as calibration tool in fluid-dynamics; shear stress regulation from 0 to about 100 dyn/cm2.
- Free adjustable flow profiles: provides regulated constant, pulsatile, oscillatory, and free adjustable flow profiles
- Easy to handle setup for lifelong use
- Customer specific setups: single BTF-units, multi channel setups, combined with or without control unit and/or software and/or impedance spectroscopy, usable also in BSL 4 labs
- Transparency: Online observation of the investigated system, e.g. living cells
- Long-term experiments with continuous medium exchange
- Computer-regulated bioreactor: flexible software for easy data navigation, classification, and image acquisition to allow time-resolved image analyses
- Multi channel setup: Investigations of manipulated and control cells of the same passage at different levels of shear stress within the same period of time
- Electrophysiological measurements (impedance spectroscopy): Barrier function of sheet forming cell layers (e.g. TER: transcellular electrical resistance of epithelial or endothelial cells)
- Sealed chambers for cell culture (e.g. infections, hypoxia)
