Tension Systems
About Our Tension Systems
Our FX-6000T™ Tension System is a computer-regulated bioreactor that uses positive and negative air pressure to apply cyclic or static mechanical strain to cells cultured on flexible-bottomed culture plates. The FX-6000T™ Tension System allows researchers to simulate in vivo tissue strains and frequencies in vitro that mimic in vivo conditions in cells from muscle, lung, heart, vascular vessels, skin, tendon, ligament, cartilage, and bone.
How Our Tension Bioreactors Work
Flexcell® Tension Systems are patented, computer-regulated bioreactors that apply cyclic or static strain to cells cultured in vitro.
We designed Flexcell® Tension Systems to help investigators analyze biochemical changes in response to tensile load on a variety of cell culture applications, including muscle, lung, heart, vascular vessels, skin, tendon, ligament, cartilage, and bone.
Our Tension Systems work with UniFlex® (Uniaxial strain), BioFlex®, HT BioFlex® (Equibiaxial strain), Tissue Train® and CellSoft® BioFlex® culture plates.
