BioFlux Applications
Cellular Analysis, Research, and Imaging
Physiological flow has a profound impact on many biological processes, such as thrombus formation, cell adhesion, and endothelial cell permeability.
BioFlux Shear Flow Systems give you the ability to mimic physiological flow in your research and drug discovery experiments to reveal the true biology.

“Given the critical role of shear in regulating platelet adhesion and thrombus growth, these findings may have potential pathophysiological significance.” [Jackson, et al., 2006]

Modeling of Catheter-Associated Infection
BioFlux was used in a recent study modeling catheter-associated infection by using BioFlux microfluidics to mimick the in vivo conditions of urinary catheters. In their lab, the BioFlux 200 system has been used to evaluate the efficacy of poloxamers in reducing E. coli adhesion under controllable shear forces by exploiting BioFlux silicone microfluidic flow channels, thus mimicking the in vivo conditions of urinary catheters in terms of both flow conditions and catheter material.
