A flow through μ-Slide for bifurcation studies and blood vessel simulation---ibidi
Perfect simulation of live conditions in branching blood vessels
Allows flows in two different directions under different angles
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
Also available as a Flow Kit
Defined shear stress and shear rate levels
The flow is always laminar, i.e., turbulent flows* are not possible
* For simulation of turbulences we recommend oscillating the flow using the ibidi Pump System.
