The Flexcell® Tension Systems for Life Science Research

Since many years, Dunn Labortechnik is the exclusive Distributor for Europe and the Middle East for the whole product range of the American company Flexcell^®International.

Particularly designed for the in vitro analysis of biomechanical applications, Flexcell´s innovative Tension Systems enable the user to induce and observe the results of cyclic or static stress on cells and tissues.

Flexcell^® International offers for tension applications the main FX-6000™ Tension System, which functions with both regulated vacuum pressure and positive air pressure to move the membranes of flexible-bottomed culture plates more effectively. The added application of positive pressure in the FX-6000™ system facilitates the return of the membrane to its neutral position more effectively than only atmospheric pressure. Therefore, the FX-6000™ Tension System generates even smoother waveforms with no overshoot or oscillation in waveform. The addition of dry compressed air also helps to reduce possible build-up of moisture in the system.

For customers with a tighter budget and low throughput,Flexcell^® offers the FLEX JR.™ Tension System with a single plate baseplate kit as an affordable alternative to the more versatile and comprehensive "big brother", the FX-6000™ Tension System.

The Flexcell^® Tension Systems are compatible with the microscopy devices StageFlexer®, Inverted StageFlexer I^®, StageFlexer® Jr., and the FlexFlow™ Shear Stress System.
