Biaxial Cell Stretching System (STB-190-XY)

Strex

 

Stage-mountable system with biaxial stretching and compression functionality.

  • Simultaneously stretches cells in a single chamber in one or two directions while allowing for imaging pre- and post-stretch.
  • 64 available preprogrammed stretching patterns to save time.
  • Bidirectional stretch parameters included, however uniaxial stretch is possible too.

Biaxial system with 4cm chamber size allows for:

  • Cytoskeleton rearrangements.
  • Gene/Protein Expression.
  • Cell Morphology studies.

Description

Biaxial Cell Stretching System

Stage-mountable for imaging before and after stretching

Features

  • Capable of bidirectional stretching cells in culture; functions by applying a stress load to cells growing in-vitro, provided that the microscope set up is compatible.
  • Simultaneously stretches cells in a single chamber, in one or two directions while allowing for imaging before and after stretch.
  • The system’s mechanical stretching unit operates inside an incubator atop a microscope, while the control unit and video output are placed outside.
  • 64 available preprogrammed stretch patterns save researchers precious time and make it incredibly easy to get experiments started.
  • Bidirectional stretch parameters included, however, the uniaxial stretch is possible as well.

 

System Configuration

Main Unit: Compatible with Nikon, Olympus, Zeiss, and Leica microscopes. Stage drawings are required for the necessary stage adapter to be built.

Control Unit: Actuates the main unit to implement the desired stretching pattern for one cell culture.

Note: Video output through computer/monitor is not provided. STREX does not sell these.

 

System Specification

STB-190-XY: Employs 4 cm² chamber designed for XY bidirectional stretching

Stretching Patterns: Up to 64 patterns. Custom patterns for high-velocity stretch are available for purchase.

Stretch Direction: Biaxial stretch, but is capable of a uniaxial stretch as well.
