为了更加满足生理相关性的需求,针对趋化(chemotaxis)、迁移(transmigration)、侵袭(invasion)实验,Cellix最近推出VenaT4™芯片。该产品结合Cellix专有的微流体技术,用于研究在剪切力下细胞的聚
集。
Cellix announces the launch of the new - the microflow transwell chamber.
Following continued demand for more physiologically relevant models suitable forchemotaxis, transmigration and invasion
assays, Cellix present the newVenaT4™ biochip. This model combines Cellix's proprietary microfluidic flow technology for
cell recruitment under shear stress with traditional transwell chamber models.
Used to investigate and quantify cell recruitment to various ligands in the presence of chemoattractans contained within the
microwells mimicking tissue and/or injury sites.
The unique design contains an embedded microporous membrane (pore sizes: 2-10um) within the biochip. This enables flowing
cells to adhere to ECM-ligand coated microchannels and subsequently transmigrate through the micropores to the underlying
microwell.
The VenaT4™ biochip is a more advanced alternative to the traditional transwell chamber or Boyden chamber.
