Fluxion BioFlux 200 and 1000Z live cell imaging systems

The BioFlux 200 and 1000Z systems for live cell imaging, from Fluxion Biosciences, feature the company’s well-plate microfluidic technology that allows multidimensional live cell imaging assays to be performed under shear flow. With customised flow plates and precise pressure control, microbiological or cellular assays can be performed in physiologically relevant shear environments.

The BioFlux 200 system is compatible with most manufacturers’ inverted microscopes and comes complete with software for control of shear flow conditions in a micro environment.

The BioFlux 1000Z provides an integrated, intuitive solution for running live cell assays under controlled shear. Consisting of a fully automated Zeiss Axio Observer microscope with integrated Bioflux shear flow module, the platform is compatible with all standard Zeiss components such as incubation set-ups, Definite Focus and imaging modules. The system is driven by the BioFlux Montage software.

The combination of Zeiss hardware with Fluxion’s well-plate microfluidic technology provides a solution for critical applications in cellular research and drug discovery, including cell and platelet adhesion, cell migration and invasion, biofilms, and stem cell research.
