VenaEC? Biochip:
For cell-cell interaction studies under conditions mimicking physiological flow

The VenaEC? Biochip contains a tissue culture treated substrate which enables the seeding and culturing of endothelial cells with 2 parallel microcapillaries which are sealed on top via a customised frame. Cells derived from different endothelial tissues can be grown easily on the VenaEC Biochips. Cell suspensions may then be injected using the MirusTM Nanopump which supports a range of shear stresses for dynamic flow based assays.
VenaEC? Biochip is supplied with 4 substrates and in packs of 10,facilitating 80 experiments per pack.

Features
? Suitable for a wide range of cell suspensions.
? Easy to seed substrates with a range of different endothelial cells.
? Biochip plastic is optically clear permitting detailed microscopy studies.
? 0.05 – 20 dyne/cm2 shear stresses easily obtained and controlled by the MirusTM Nanopump and FlowAssay software.
? Shear stress may be preset to be incrementally increased during an assay.
? Real time imaging under flow conditions.
? Suitable for use with whole blood.
