A 6 channel μ-Slide with a non-adherent surface for flow experiments and fluorescence microscopy

• Superior to the standard ultra-low attachment (ULA) surfaces—stable, biologically inert surface for long-term experiments without any cell or biomolecule adhesion
• Excellent microscopic quality without any autofluorescence—100% surface passivation combined with the highest optical quality of the ibidi Polymer Coverslip

Applications:

• Real-time imaging under either static or flow conditions 
• Generation and long-term culture of 3D cell aggregates (e.g., spheroids and organoids) without any scaffold
• High resolution fluorescence microscopy of organoids, spheroids, embryoid bodies (EBs), and cells in suspension
• Background-free analysis of cell-cell interactions
• Prevention of stem cell differentiation due to attachment
• Culture of suspension cells in a permanently unattached state
• Self-assembly tumor spheroid formation assays
• 3D tumor spheroid models

Technical Features

• Channel µ-Slide with 6 independent channels and a non-removable polymer coverslip-bottom
• µ-Slide VI ^0.4 with a non-adherent, passivated Bioinert surface
• Bioinert surface with long term passivation—superior to standard ULA surfaces:
  • Ready-to-use without prior surface treatment or preparation
  • No adsorption, coating, or binding of proteins, antibodies, enzymes, and other biomolecules
  • Non-cytotoxic, biologically inert, and non-degradable
• Easy connection to existing tubes and pumps via female Luer adapters 
• Imaging µ-Slide with excellent optical quality for high-end microscopy
