Uniaxial Cell Stretching System (STB-150W)

Strex

 

STB-150 Main Unit/Control Unit

Stretch cells in culture by applying a stress load to cells growing in-vitro.

  • Simultaneously stretches cells in a single chamber in one direction while allowing for imaging pre- and post-stretch.
  • Real-time imaging possible at 10x magnification.
  • 64 available preprogrammed stretching patterns to save time.

Uniaxial system with 1 cm chamber size allows for: 

  • Ion Mobilization.
  • Calcium Influx.
  • Nitric Oxide production studies

Description

Uniaxial Cell Stretching System

Microscope compatible system for single direction stretching studies

The STB-150W is a uniaxial cell system with a microscope mounted on top of the system for applying stress loads to cells in vitro and images before and during stretching.

 

System Configuration System Specification
Main Unit: Compatible with Nikon and Olympus (standard). Optional support for Ziess and Leica.

Control Unit: Actuates the main unit to implement the desired stretching pattern Cell-stretching functionality for one cell culture and assay environments (optional)

STB-150: Employs 4 cm² chambers

STB-150W: Employs 1 cm² chambers

Stretching patterns: up to 64 patterns

Stretch direction: uniaxial

 

Different system components:

STB-150W (Double Motor)

Stretches from both sides of the chamber to enable cells to remain inside the viewing area at 10x magnification in real time. In order to capture an image at maximum resolution (up to 40x), the motor must be turned off briefly.

The STB-150 enables observation of morphological changes and ion dynamics of cells under the stress of mechanical stretching. The main stretch unit mounts directly on the microscope stage, while the controller directs the stretch unit to apply the desired automated mechanical stretch stimulus on the cells under observation.

Uniaxial system with small 1 cm chamber size allows for studies in Ion Mobilization, Calcium Influx and Nitric Oxide production studies.
