| Live cell assays with controlled shear flow BioFlux provides a fully integrated solution for running biologically relevant cellular assays under shear flow. The system utilizes Fluxion's Well Plate Microfluidics™ (WPM) to provide high content results from a convenient well-plate format. Precise control over shear flow enables a wide variety of cellular and microbiology applications which call for vascular emulation, mechanical stress, compound/buffer exchange and high content analysis.
 
BioFlux supports a wide range of live cell applications BioFlux enables a wide variety of cell-based assays in the fields of immunology, vascular biology, microbiology, cancer research, stem cells, and more. Many of these applications benefit from the ability to create a physiologically-relevant shear flow profile, such as platelet adhesion, cell adhesion, rolling velocity, transmigration, and stem cell differentiation. Other applications can benefit from the ability to introduce compounds and gradients in a time-resolved and well-controlled manner, such as wound healing, chemotaxis, pharmacology and neurite-outgrowth assays.
Microfluidic approach improves throughput and minimizes
reagent use The BioFlux system utilizes a unique microfluidic design to enable automated cellular analyses in the presence of controlled shear flow. Micron-scale flow channel devices are integrated into SBS-standard well plates. The bottom of the devices are formed by #1.5 (180µm) cover slip glass optimized for high resolution microscopy data.
