The VenaT4? biochip is the only biochip available for studying chemotaxis, transmigration and invasion assays and is Cellix's new microflow transwell chamber.
VenaT4?趨化性研究芯片是Cellix推出的***種新型Transwell室,可以用來進行趨化(chemotaxis)、遷移(transmigration)、侵襲(invasion)研究。
The VenaT4TM biochip model combines Cellix's proprietary microfluidic flow technology for cell recruitment under shear stress with traditional transwell chamber models. Used to investigate and quantify cell recruitment to various ligands in the presence of chemoattractants contained within the microwells mimicking tissue and / or injury sites.
趨化性研究芯片結合Cellix專有的微流體技術,用于研究在剪切力下細胞的聚集。利用微孔模擬組織和/或傷口,微孔包覆化學引誘物,用于研究和量化細胞對各種配體的聚集。
The biochips contain 4 microcapillaries in parallel, each with an embedded microporous membrane with pores of 2-10um diameter (depending on application). Underneath each membrane is a microwell. See image above. The microcapillaries of the VenaT4TMbiochips are easily coated with ECM proteins using a standard yellow-tip pipette, giving the researcher greater flexibility. The VenaT4TM biochip is suitable for the following assays:
Chemotaxis Assays: Cells flowing through the microcapillary of the biochip may attach to the protein coated membrane and migrate towards the chemokine in the underlying microwell.
趨化性實驗:細胞流經微流道,可能與膜上的蛋白涂布粘附,然后向底層的趨化因子遷移。
Transmigration Assays: Cells flowing through the microcapillary of the biochip may attach to the cell monolayer on the membrane and transmigrate through the cell monolayer and membrane towards the chemokine in the underlying microwell.
遷移實驗:細胞流經微流道,可能與膜上的單個細胞粘附,然后穿過細胞核膜,向底層的趨化因子遷移。
Invasion Assays: Cells flowing through the microcapillary of the biochip may attach to the cell monolayer on the membrane and transmigrate through the cell monolayer and membrane into a 3D ECM in the underlying microwell.
侵襲實驗:細胞流經微流道,可能與膜上的單個細胞粘附,然后穿過細胞核膜,向底層的3D ECM遷移。
The VenaT4TM biochip is suitable for use with the following:
Cell types: Leukocytes, neutrophils, lymphocytes, macrophages, monocytes, endothelial cells, epithelial cells, fibroblasts and tumour cells.
細胞種類:白細胞、中性粒細胞、淋巴細胞、巨噬細胞、單核細胞、內皮細胞、上皮細胞、成纖維細胞和腫瘤細胞。
