Tumor Microenvironment
To comprehend the intricacies of cancer cells in full, analyzing the tumor microenvironment in vitro is crucial. BioFlux Shear Flow Systems are high-throughput platforms ideal for analyzing several oncological processes, including the impact of a tumor microenvironment. By controlling shear stressThe tangential force per unit area from flowing fluid; a key parameter in vascular biology, platelet function, leukocyte rolling, and biofilm adhesion studies., temperature, attachment substrate, and gas composition, BioFlux creates a physiologically relevant atmosphere for oncological assays.
Create and Control Tumor Microenvironments with BioFlux
- Tightly controlled shear stress from 0-200 dyn/cm² mimic different tissue environments
