Chitozen
Kit Options
- 5-coverslips alone*
- 5x standard (25 x 75 mm) chitosan-coated coverslips
- 5-coverslips with microfluidic channels (= 30 experiments)
- 5x standard (25 x 75 mm) chitosan-coated coverslips
- 5x bottomless 6-channel sticky slides
- Centrifugation pack: the Chitozen coverslips can be centrifuged using a rack compatible with standard microscope slide (25 x 75 mm) dimensions. If needed, add our centrifugation pack to your Chitozen kit. It includes:
- µ-Slide Microscopy Rack (ibidi)
- Magnetic Lid for Microscopy Rack
- Clamp & adapter to securely fasten sticky slides to Chitozen coverslips
*If using the Chitozen coverslips alone, separate wells can be created manually by using a sealing glue or Stencell silicon chambers. Contact us for more information.
Features:
- Increased Stability: Maintain bacteria in a same focal plane for imaging while preserving their physiology
- Capture the Moment: Fix your bacteria and label them in situ to look at specific protein expression patterns during dynamic processes
- Renew Culture Medium and Change Growth Condition: Change experiment conditions and directly observe, in real-time, the bacteria new comportment under the microscope
