Ibidi – Labware – µ-Slide Spheroid Perfusion
A Perfusable Channel µ-Slide With 3 x 7 Wells for Long-Term Spheroid Cultivation and High-End Microscopy
Description
The µ-Slide Spheroid Perfusion offers long-term cultivation and perfusion of 3D spheroids or organoids, providing a high-quality imaging chamber for precise microscopy and spheroid growth analysis.
Key Features
- Ideal for the long-term cultivation and perfusion of 3D spheroids or organoids on the Bioinert surface
- Flexible preparation for perfusion: spheroids can be transferred or created directly in the wells
- Imaging chamber with excellent optical quality for high-resolution microscopy
Applications
- Cultivation and high-resolution microscopy of three-dimensional cell aggregates (e.g., spheroids and organoids)
- For use with the ibidi Pump System or any other pump device with Luer connectors
- Perfusion of spheroids for fresh medium supply during long-term cultivation and access to spheroid growth kinetics
- Spheroid generation directly in the wells
- Spheroid retrieval for downstream processing (e.g., immunofluorescence, histology, and biochemical assays)
- Perfusion of cell monolayers (adherent cells), suspension cells, or co-cultures
- Organ-on-a-chip setups with up- and downstream metabolization
- Live cell imaging and microscopy of 3D cell aggregates
- Immunofluorescence staining and high-resolution fluorescence microscopy of living and fixed cells and cell aggregates
