The BioTech-Flow-System (BTF-System)
The BioTech-Flow-System (BTF-System) is a rheological in vitro system, based on a cone-plate viscosimeter generating highly accurate, homogenous and well defined shear stress.
Your substrate is positioned in a culture plate and covered with medium, then shear stress is generated by a rotating cone from above. Depending on your special requirements, you may have up to 4 or even 9 cone plate-units, connected to a microscope or video camera, guided by our own software, featuring long-term temperature control, optional UV or impedance spectroscopy.
Possible investigations range from living cells on a natural or artificial substrates like biomaterials or immobilized proteins, synthetic micro-pillars, quartz glass or others.
