Instructions: ibidi Pump System (Version 2.4) - Protected
(PDF, 9 MB)

A pump system for the cultivation of, e.g. endothelial, cells under flow for simulation of blood vessels

Product outline:

A pump system for the cultivation of, e.g. endothelial, cells under flow for simulation of blood vessels.
Ideal simulation of various physiological conditions - continuous unidirectional, oscillating, and pulsatile flow.
Compatible with the ibidi Heating Systems, all incubators, incubated microscopes, and Channel µ-Slides.
Minimal mechanical stress, minimal amount of medium and supplement needed.

Technical features

Operates up to four parallel Fluidic Units per ibidi Pump
Flow characteristics: all flow types are laminar
Some examples:

Unidirectional flow simulates veins or small arteries
Oscillating flow simulates disturbed conditions at vessel branching’s or valves
Pulsatile flow simulates arterial conditions

Wide range of flow rates (ca. 0.1–40 ml/min*) and shear stress (ca. 0.2–150 dyn/cm2*)
Working volume: 2.5 ml / 12 ml / 50 ml
Suitable for all µ-Slides with Luer adapters
Also suitable for home-made flow chambers
Compatible with all incubators
Software-controlled flow rates and shear stress

*Depending on the Perfusion Set and Channel used.

System overview

Applications

Defined shear stress in long-term culture (e.g., endothelial cells, kidney, or biofilm)
Live cell imaging and immunofluorescence for analysing shear stress response
Mimicking shear stress conditions in microcapillary, venous, and arterial flow
Rolling and adhesion of suspended cells on substrates.
Stop flow experiments
3D cell culture: interstitial flow

Components of the ibidi Pump System
