FX-5000 Compression

Flexcell® FX-5000™ Compression System

A computer-regulated bioreactor that uses positive air pressure to deform tissue samples or 3-D cell cultures in vitro, simulating biological compression conditions (see Fig. 1 below).

  • Uses positive pressure to compress samples between a piston and stationary platen on the BioPress™ culture plate yielding up to 14 lbs of force.
  • Program multiple frequency, amplitude, and wave changes in one regimen with defined, static or cyclic deformation of cells.
  • Valving mechanism regulates pressure to provide specified compression regimen.
  • Compatible with Windows 7.
