Flexcell® StageFlexer® (Microscopy)

A single-well embodiment of the BioFlex^® culture plate designed to allow the user to observe signaling responses to strain in real time on a microscope stage. 

• Applies strain (see Fig. 1 below) to cells in real time on your microscope stage.
• Achieve over 14% substrate elongation (see table below).
• Consists of a single 35 mm well with a matrix bonded silicone rubber membrane, similar to the membrane in the BioFlex^® culture plate.
• The membrane can be deformed using the Flexcell^® FX-5000™ or Flex Jr.™ Tension Systems.
