• Microscope slide with 2 main wells each divided into 9 secondary wells
• Cells share soluble factors but grow separately
• Low evaporation properties and therefore suitable for long term testing.
• Excellent optical quality and therefore suitable for fluorescence microscopy.

• Co-culture of different cell lines or primary cells
• Mesenchymal-epithelial cell interactions
• Paracrine interaction of different cell populations in vitro
• Culture of cells or spheroids in gel matrices

 

The µ-Slide 2 Well ibidi allows the use of standard immunofluorescence protocols without using coverslips in an all-in-one chamber. All steps (e.g. cell culture, fixation, staining and imaging) are performed in the wells. After staining, the sample can be observed through the bottom of the slide using high resolution microscopy. The tight-fitting lid prevents evaporation and allows long-term testing.
