New Slide Enables Motion Tracking of Non-Adherent Chemotactically Active Cells

Ibidi GmbH releases a chamber for chemotaxis and migration studies of non-adherent cells in 3D gel matrices called µ-Slide Chemotaxis 3D. This new slide allows the motion tracking of non-adherent chemotactically active cells like lymphocytes, dendritic cells or macrophages in different gel matrices (e.g. collagen).

Ibidi’s technology was funded by the german BMBF. ibidi was and is highly engaged in the focus program “optical technologies (Biophotonics)” in joint research projects.

Dr. Roman Zantl, managing director and head of R&D at ibidi, commented:
“The µ-slide Chemotaxis 3D was developed in close collaboration with US and European scientists. With this new slide we see a big potential to simulate interstitial chemotaxis of tumor and endothelial cells. We are proud to demonstrate the new µ-Slide Chemotaxis 3D to the scientific community during a Live Cell Imaging Workshop in Martinsried on July 6, 2010.”
