VENA8 WITH GLASS COVERSLIP
VENA8 WITH GLASS COVERSLIP
The Vena8™ biochip with/without glass coverslip adhered; with/without treatment for cell rolling and adhesion on proteins; seeding of cells or microbes enabling subsequent study of drug interaction, imaging or molecular biology studies under shear flow. Compatible with brightfield, phase contrast imaging, immunofluorescence and confocal microscopy.

Features:
​
-
Cell rolling and adhesion on proteins; seeding of cells or microbes enabling subsequent study of drug interaction, imaging or molecular biology studies under shear flow.
-
Biochips are supplied with or without glass coverslip attached.
-
Biochips available for low or high flow rates / shear stresses.
-
Ideal for whole blood, primary cells, rare cells e.g. where samples are more difficult to retrieve or culture or only small sample volumes available.
-
Perfect for high flow rates / high shear stresses e.g. platelet adhesion, aggregation and thrombi formation studies for thrombosis using whole blood. In conventional flow chambers / perfusion chambers; significant volumes of blood would be required making the assay impossible.
-
Suitable for biofilm applications; particularly Vena8 biochips supplied without glass coverslip: user may attach any type of coupon to bottom of the biochip.
-
No assembly of the biochip is required unlike many conventional perfusion chambers / flow chambers.
-
No luer lock connections which increase dead volume. Cellix's biochips have a unique plug & play connection with tubing connections which are autoclaveable and reuseable.

Applications:
Flow assays using minimal sample volumes (whole blood, cell suspensions, proteins etc.); immunofluorescence and confocal microscopy.
