Your Lab Partner for Physiological Live Cell Assays

 

Many physiological processes take place under flow conditions: blood flowing through the vasculature; cancer cells circulating throughout the body; CAR-T cells migrating through the endothelium; biofilms forming in lung infections. Despite this, most research is still conducted in vitro without the presence of flow. BioFlux from Fluxion Biosciences gives you the ability to introduce physiological shear flow to your research and drug discovery experiments, effectively emulating in vivo conditions and revealing the true biology.

  • Bridge the gap between in vitro and in vivo experiments with controlled,
    physiological shear flow up to 200 dyne/cm²
     

  • Study adhesion, rolling, and transmigration across cell monolayers
     
  • Achieve high throughput with up to 96 flow cell assays run in parallel  

  • Benefit from well plate simplicity – BioFlux plates are standard format,
    pre-sterilized, no tubing to change; sample only touches the consumable plate
     

  • Acquire better images: glass bottom plates for superior imaging quality or
    custom options for more complex experimentation 
     

  • Enhance your experiments: capability for controlled gas (hypoxia, etc.),
    dual gas, and temperature-controlled experiments
     

  • Expand your capabilities: Two-phase flow experiments create the opportunity to
    easily perform sophisticated assays such as chemotaxis and migration

Many physiological processes take place under flow conditions: blood flowing through the vasculature; cancer cells circulating throughout the body; CAR-T cells migrating through the endothelium; biofilms forming in lung infections.

It is now well established that flow has a profound impact on cell function, yet much research is still conducted in vitro without the presence of flow. BioFlux from Fluxion Biosciences gives you the ability to introduce physiological shear flow to your research and drug discovery experiments, effectively emulating in vivo conditions and revealing the true biology.

Core Technology

See how BioFlux uses microfluidics to emulate physiological shear flow in an in vitro model and in a convenient well-plate format.

 

Application Areas

Shear stress plays an important role in creating physiologically-relevant models to answer fundamental questions in cellular biology. In drug discovery and development, BioFlux helps ensure that only the most promising compounds will be passed through to clinical trials, saving tremendous time and expense versus conventional screening methods.

Customer Spotlight

Modeling of Catheter-Associated Infection

BioFlux was used in a recent study modeling catheter-associated infection by using BioFlux microfluidics to mimick the in vivo conditions of urinary catheters. In their lab, the BioFlux 200 system has been used to evaluate the efficacy of poloxamers in reducing E. coli adhesion under controllable shear forces by exploiting BioFlux silicone microfluidic flow channels, thus mimicking the in vivo conditions of urinary catheters in terms of both flow conditions and catheter material.
