µ-Slide Chemotaxis 2D
The μ-Slide Chemotaxis 2D is optimized to analyze the chemotactical response of adherent cells in linear and stable concentration profiles. Due to the gradient’s time stability of over 48 hours, it is the first system that is able to analyze the chemotaxis of slow migrating cells for up to two days.
The µ-Slide Chemotaxis 2D is for use with adherent cells, such as: endothelial cells, fibroblasts, cancer cells, and others.
Principle:
A narrow observation area connects two large reservoirs. The cells that are seeded into the observation area become super-imposed by linear and time-stable gradients.
Chemotaxis is observed using time-lapse microscopy. The ibidi Heating & Incubation Systems enable live cell imaging with incubator conditions directly on the microscope.
