About our Accessories

Flexcell® has designed a full line of tissue engineering accessories to aid in load application, cell seeding placement plus biologicals to create hydrogel matrices and scaffolds.

Monolayer (2D) Cell Culture:

BioFlex® Cell Seeders™, HT BioFlex® CellSeeders

Cell Seeders™ allow users to plate cells in the central region of the culture plates.

Tissue Constructs and (3D) Cell Culture:

Tissue Train® Trough Loaders™ are special molds for creating various shaped (Linear and Circular shapes) 3D cell-seeded gel constructs with the Tissue Train® Culture System.

Accessories by Strain Application:

Equibiaxial load: BioFlex® Baseplate Kit, BioFlex® Cylindrical 6-well Loading Stations, HT BioFlex® Baseplate Kit, HT BioFlex® Cylindrical 24-well Loading Stations, Flex Jr™ Single BioFlex® Baseplate Kit , Tissue Train® (3D Cell Culture) Baseplate Kit, Tissue Train® Trough Loaders™ (3D Cell Culture)

BioFlex® Cylindrical Loading Stations™ help apply equibiaxial strain on cell culture plate membrane.

Uniaxial load: Uniaxial® Baseplate Kit, Arctangle® Loading Stations™, Tissue Train® (Linear) Baseplate Kits, Tissue Train® Trough Loaders™ (Linear)

Arctangle® Loading Stations™ help apply uniaxial strain on cell culture plate membrane.

What our customers say

“Cells were seeded on flexible silicone-bottom plates (Flexcell® Tension System) at a density of 3 × 105 cells per well. Pathologically elevated cyclic stretch increased the secretion of miR-27a, which was transferred from VSMCs to ECs via the VSMC-MPs, subsequently targeted GRK6, and induced EC proliferation. Locally decreasing miR-27a could be a novel therapeutic approach to attenuate the abnormal EC proliferation in hypertension.”

“A Flexcell® Compression Plus system was used to enable longer-term compression of multicellular aggregates (MCAs) in custom-designed hydrogel carriers. Results show changes in the expression of genes related to epithelial-mesenchymal transition as well as altered dispersal of compressed MCAs on collagen gels.”

“The study of fluid shear as a driving force for cell migration, i.e., "flowtaxis", and investigation of molecular mechanosensors governing such behavior (e.g., ROCK as tested in this study) may provide new and improved insights into the fundamental understanding of cell migration-based homeostasis. The flow regimens could be controlled by the peristaltic pump and the Osci-Flow device, which were governed by StreamSoft v. 4.1 software provided by Flexcell® International Corp.”
