Fluxion Biosciences introduces the BioFlux 1000 Workstation a cell analysis system that integrates the companys Well Plate Microfluidic technology with automated microscopy for high-throughput shear flow assays. It extends Fluxions line of systems for plate-based, live cell imaging that includes the BioFlux 200, introduced several years ago. The 1000 workstation delivers higher throughput and unattended operation with integrated microscopy and an automated stage that enables fast scanning of the BioFlux plates.
The systems bridge the gap between in vitro and in vivo experiments by enabling physiologically relevant shear flow assays in a standard well-plate format. Applications include research in cell and platelet adhesion, cancer biology, microbiology and biofilms.
