Ibidi – Labware – µ-Slide Chemotaxis
Investigate chemotaxis of fast or slow migrating adherent cells and non-adherent cells in 2D or 3D gel matrices
The ibidi µ-Slide Chemotaxis enables precise, live-cell imaging of chemotaxis with defined gradients. Its advanced microfluidic design ensures consistent conditions, making it ideal for research in cell migration, immunology, and cancer studies. Compatible with various microscopy techniques for high-resolution imaging.
