Automated cell stretching system STB-1400

The STB-1400 Mechanically Stimulates Cells growing in culture by Stretching and Compressing them. By providing an environment like the one in which living cells exist, this systems allows you to explain the mechanisms by which cells convert mechanical signals into biochemical responses, in vitro. Uniform load. High Reproducibility (<5% Variability). Wide Range of Stretch Patterns. Unique Stretch Chamber. Up to either 6 or 8 samples in parallel. Long duration study chambers ideal for biomedical research applications such as: Cytoskeleton rearrangements. Cell morphology. Gene or protein expression. Signal transduction. Ideal for Gene and Protein Related Experiments Strex’s STB-1400 cell stretching system uses up to 6 or 8 chambers to compare and analysis samples alongside each other. Option of either 4 cm2 0r 10 cm2 sized chambers. Features Capable of stretching cells in culture; functions by applying a stress load to cells growing in-vitro. Simultaneously stretches cells in up to either 6 or 8 chambers to enable comparison between parallel samples. 64 available preprogrammed stretch patterns save researchers precious time and make it incredibly easy to get experiments started. The cell stretching system’s mechanical stretching unit operates inside an incubator, while the control unit sits outside for remote access. The detachable stretch chamber mounting unit can be transferred to a clean bench, enabling aseptic operations, and an easier workflow. Cell Stretching Main Unit Two versions of the main stretch unit are available, dependent on the size of the stretch chamber desired; 4 cm2 or 10 cm2.
