Cell Culture Under Flow
Course Objectives
Level: Beginner
This course is based on the biological knowledge that several adherent cell types, such as endothelial cells in a blood vessel, are exposed to shear stress in vivo. Culturing cells in vitro under perfusion simulates this mechanical stimulus and induces a more physiological behavior.
This course will cover all aspects of setting up experiments with cells under flow. You will learn which critical factors need to be considered when conducting flow experiments. These include various physical parameters like shear rate, flow rate, viscosity, and shear stress calculations. We will also demonstrate helpful tips and tricks for the practical handling of ibidi Channel Slides.
After the course, you will be equipped with advanced knowledge and a better understanding of the necessary tools to perform your flow experiments like an expert.
No sterile working benches or cells are required to participate. Attend the course from the comfort of your office or home.
Target Group
This course is intended for scientists and technical associates who have experience with cell culture and sterile working techniques, and want to establish cell culture under flow experiments using ibidi Channel Slides.

What Our Participants Say
"I participated in ibidi’s Cell Culture Under Flow online course and can confirm that it covered the most critical parameters for any researcher willing to start working on cell culture under flow experiments. The organizer’s communication skills, the quality of the slides, and the use of several interactive tools made the course very easy and enjoyable to follow. There was a great and very interactive atmosphere among the participants. For me, it was very important to gain an overview of the ibidi portfolio and learn how to make the best use of it with many good tips and tricks. I would recommend this course to all my colleagues."

"Thank you for the online pump course. It was very interesting, even though we don't have the ibidi Pump System yet. I enjoyed it very much and, together with the introductory online course Cell Culture Under Flow, I got a very good overview of the application of shear stress on cells using the ibidi Pump System."
