A pump system for the cultivation of, e.g. endothelial, cells under flow for simulation of blood vessels

• Ideal simulation of various physiological conditions - continuous unidirectional, oscillating, and pulsatile flow
• Compatible with the ibidi Heating Systems, all incubators, and incubated microscopes
• Minimal mechanical stress, minimal amount of medium and supplement needed
• Defined shear stress in long-term culture (e.g., endothelial cells, kidney, or biofilm)
• Live cell imaging and immunofluorescence for analyzing shear stress response
• Mimicking shear stress conditions in microcapillary, venous, and arterial flow
• Rolling and adhesion of suspended cells on substrates
• Stop flow experiments
• 3D cell culture: interstitial flow
