Description
flexercell FX-5000C? Compression System
Apply compression to tissue samples or 3-D cell-seeded constructs
flexercell’s® Compression System regulates positive air pressure to compress tissue samples or 3D cell cultures in vitro. The FX-5000C? Compression System compresses samples between a piston and stationary platen using our BioPress? culture plates. It can load up to 14 lbs. of applied force. Using the FX-5000C? Compression System, researchers can observe biochemical changes and cell signaling in vitro that mimics in vivo conditions.
Schematic of how compression is applied to tissue samples in a BioPress? well.
●Computer-regulated bioreactor that applies cyclic or static compression to 3-D cell-seeded constructs in vitro.
●Uses positive air pressure to yield up to 14 lbs of applied force (minimum force resolution of 0.1 lbf).
●Simulate in vivo tissue strains and frequencies in cells from muscle, lung, heart, blood vessels, skin, tendon,ligament, cartilage, and bone.
●Contains state-of-the-art digital valve to automatically regulate and maintain pressure for a specified compression regimen.
●Piston and stationary platen compress samples in a BioPress culture plate or StagePresser microscope device.
●Multiple frequency, amplitude and waveform changes can be programmed in one regimen (Fig. 4).
