Flow chamber system FCS
The bottom of the flow channel is formed by the corpus, the side wall – by the gasket, and its top – by the cover slip. The cover slip may be pre-coated with a cell monolayer in a multi-well plate, and will be fixated on the flow chamber by a clip-on spring jacket. This allows an easy exchange of the cultures to be investigated. Modifying the thickness of the gasket and/or the width of its gap, the channel geometry may be altered with the aim to use a whole range of well-defined shear stress. The flow chamber was designed to allow fluorescence microscopic observation of a perifused cell layer at high resolution.
