10902, ibidi Pump System: ibidi Pump, Fluidic Unit, Perfusion Set, notebook, PumpControl software, 1 Pcs/box

A pump system for long-term cell culture under flow to mimic physiologic conditions

• Establish in vivo-like conditions for the cultivation of cells under flow (e.g., endothelial cells for the simulation of blood vessels)
• Simulate defined laminar flow types (unidirectional, pulsatile, and oscillatory flow) occurring in different tissues and settings
• Compatible with µ-Slides with Luer adapters, to be used with all cell culture incubators, all inverted microscopes, and ibidi Stage Top Incubators

Technical Features

• Ideal for the establishment of long-term cell cultivation under flow: sterile and defined conditions for up to several weeks
• Suitable for the simulation of several types of laminar flow to study cells in various physiological environments:
• Unidirectional laminar flow (e.g., in most healthy biological vessels)
• Pulsatile laminar flow (e.g., in large arteries)
• Oscillatory laminar flow (e.g., as a means of turbulence or disturbed flow simulation in flow chambers)
• Closed tubing system, in which the cell culture medium is moved, for maintainance of sterility
• Minimal mechanical stress (e.g., when keeping single cells or 3D cell aggregates under perfusion for optimal nutrient supply)
• Wide range of flow rates (ca. 0.04–50 ml/min*) and shear stress (ca. 0.01–200 dyn/cm2*) for simulation of all physiological flow patterns
• Minimal amount of medium and supplements needed (working volume: 2.5 ml, 12 ml, or 50 ml)
• Compatible with a wide range of slides (e.g., µ-Slides with Luer adapters, customized slides)
• Expandable system: Operate up to four parallel Fluidic Units per ibidi Pump
• Flexible system: Compatible with all cell culture incubators, all inverted microscopes, and ibidi Stage Top Incubators
• Software-based flow programming with automated shear stress and shear rate calculations
• With the ibidi Pump System Quad with four Fluidic Units, ibidi also offers a high-throughput solution for keeping multiple µ-Slides under flow.
