ibidi GmbH develops, produces and distributes a "Lab-on-a-Slide" technology (so called µ-Slides) for the analysis of cells and biomolecules. At present, the product family covers cell culture µ-Slides, and protein µ-Slides. The cells can be seeded into a channel and conveniently be supplied with medium. The advantage of the µ-Slide is that it combines a cell culture dish with an optical observation chamber equivalent to the glass slide/cover slip setup that is required for high resolution microscopy. The simultaneous cultivation and optical analysis of the cells enables amongst other things; the use of immune fluorescence techniques, chemotactical investigations and the simulation of blood vessels for adhesion and migration studies. The µ-Slide channel can be completely coated with endothelial cells, for instance. Thus, the µ-Slides provides a model system for interaction studies between blood stream and vessel wall. The high optical quality of the µ-Slide makes investigations with all usual microscopy techniques such as DIC, phase contrast, confocal microscopy, Laser Scanning Microscopy (LSM) and fluorescence correlation spectroscopy (FCS) possible.
A pump system for the cultivation of, e.g. endothelial, cells under flow for simulation of blood vessels. Combine with ibidi Channel slides, such as the µ-Slide I Luer, for cell culture under flow conditions.
Use this chambered coverslip with 8 wells for cell culture, immunofluorescence, and high-end microscopy. Also available with 2, 4, or 18 wells.
Easy setup directly on your microscope: perform live cell imaging in dishes, slides, or multiwell plates. The ibidi Stage Top Incubation Systems fit every standard inverted microscope and include CO 2 and O 2 control as well as actively controlled humidity. They are ideal for all live cell imaging applications and available for single slides and dishes as well as for multiwell plates.
Use this versatile 35 mm imaging Dish for high-end microscopy through the #1.5 coverslip bottom.
Use this high-quality rat tail collagen type I solution for cell culture applications (e.g., 3D gels, scaffolds, and coating).
Use this Multiwell plate with black walls, square wells, and a flat and clear coverslip bottom (#1.5 ibidi Polymer Coverslip) for high-throughput applications in cell-based assays. Also available with 24 wells.
Use this channel microscopy slide with a coverslip bottom (#1.5 ibidi Polymer or #1.5H glass) for immunofluorescence, cell culture under flow, live cell imaging, and high resolution microscopy on inverted microscopes. Available in various channel heights.
Use these silicone inserts with a defined cell-free gap for wound healing assays, migration assays, 2D invasion assays, and co-cultivation of cells. Available with 2, 3, or 4 wells.
Use this slide to investigate angiogenesis in tube formation assays. Also ideal for 3D cell culture and immunofluorescence staining. Also available in a 96 well format.
Investigate chemotaxis of fast or slow migrating adherent cells and non-adherent cells in 2D or 3D gel matrices.
