CYTONOTE 1W with ibidi Pump System
- CYTONOTE 1W
- Time-lapse images of cells and real time analysis from inside your incubator
- A small footprint device that stays always in focus with Petri dishes, T-flasks, slides or micro-fluidic chips
- ibidi Pump System
- Ideal simulation of various physiological conditions – continuous unidirectional, oscillating, and pulsatile flow
- Compatible with the ibidi Heating Systems, all incubators, and incubated microscopes
- Minimal mechanical stress, minimal amount of medium and supplement needed
Bring physiological flow conditions and real-time cell monitoring together in a single integrated workflow. This kit combines the CYTONOTE 1W Live Cell Imaging System with the ibidi Pump System, enabling researchers to culture cells under controlled shear stress while continuously monitoring cellular behaviour directly inside the incubator.
The CYTONOTE 1W uses patented lensless imaging technology to capture time-lapse images and perform real-time analysis of cell cultures without the need for focus adjustments or complex microscope setups. Its compact footprint allows it to fit easily within standard incubators while providing a wide field of view for monitoring cell proliferation, migration, morphology, confluence, and other key cellular parameters.
The ibidi Pump System complements this capability by generating controlled laminar flow conditions, including unidirectional, pulsatile, and oscillatory flow patterns. Designed for long-term cell culture under physiologically relevant shear stress, it is ideal for endothelial, epithelial, kidney, vascular, and biofilm research applications.
Used together, the systems enable researchers to observe how cells respond to mechanical stimulation in real time, making the kit particularly valuable for studies involving vascular biology, mechanobiology, angiogenesis, wound healing, cell migration, drug discovery, and tissue engineering.
