Preventing Thrombus Formation/Platelet Adhesion to Fibrinogen Using VenaFlux Platform

19 Sept 2012

This application note investigates a range of novel thermoresponsive polymers designed to be used in dual drug-eluting systems in coating stents. Using Cellix’s biochips and Mirus pumping system, platelet adhesion to fibrinogen treated with xemilofiban and fluvastatin eluted from thermoresponvice copolymers and how this effected thrombus formation is investigated.

Vena8 Endothelial+ Biochip: microfluidic flow chamber

Cellix Ltd

The Vena8 Endothelial+™ biochip is ideal for studying cell-cell interaction. Endothelial cells are easily seeded (via standard pipette) and cultured inside the microcapillaries of the biochip. As cells flow through the microcapillary of the Vena8 Endothelial+™ biochip, the cell surface receptors may interact with the endothelial cell monolayer which coats the microcapillary walls. Ideal for use with phase contrast imaging and fluorescence imaging to study cell-cell interactions under conditions mimicking physiological flow.
