MV 57: Handling the µ-Slide I Luer 3D

Effortlessly Handle the ibidi µ-Slide I Luer 3D!

Product Description

Discover the ease of working with the ibidi µ-Slide I Luer 3D! This innovative slide, featuring one channel and three wells, is perfect for culturing cells on a 3D gel matrix with defined flow conditions.

Top Features

Create a perfusable cell monolayer on a gel matrix for diverse flow and shear stress applications

Establish and image endothelial barriers under in vivo-like conditions—no artificial filters or membranes required

Easy handling: Place samples into the open wells, then apply perfusion after closing the wells

The Principle

The μ-Slide I Luer 3D is designed with three wells and one channel on top, allowing for the culture of cells on a 3D gel matrix with controlled flow. Fill each well with a gel, cultivate cells, and conduct microscopic investigations. Connect the channel to a pump (such as the ibidi Pump System) to apply defined shear stress, creating an in vivo-like functional monolayer (e.g., an endothelial barrier) without artificial filters or membranes. This setup is ideal for simulating blood vessels with endothelial cells.
