BE-TRANSFLOW is a versatile microfluidic device for cell culture under biomimetic conditions. It allows a combination of a 2D-3D organized coculture with the possibility of establishing flows with or without cells over the epithelium. Our most biomimetic microdevice to copy in vitro different tissue structures.

BlueBlink is a contactless sensing system for the measurement of oxygen concentration in gases and liquids. It is made of two basic parts: an optical reader and a sensing spot. Basically, the sensing spot should be placed in contact with the medium of interest so the reader can obtain a measurement of the oxygen amount.
The BlueBlink system is based on the fluorescence quenching physical phenomenon and, therefore, it has a negligible influence on the oxygen concentration in the analyte, which makes it indicated to be operated in small volumes.
Optical readers can measure through almost any non-colored transparent thin wall in a noninvasive mode. Moreover, the software allows operating up to ten readers simultaneously and log the measurements for post-processing through a single PC connection.
The BlueBlink most important features are the following:
This anchroing system allows to customize the length of the chamber shaft in order to adapt it to the length of the scaffold. Thereby, the deformation conditions can be adjusted when working with different length scaffolds or to obtain homogenous conditions when working with the hydrostatic pressure chambers. It is comaptible with all the chambers and grips available.
Culture chambers are designed to be compatible with all the available deformation grips.
Apply tension loads on cylindrical or sheet-like scaffolds.
Apply compression loads on your scaffolds.
Apply tension loads to membranes or sheet-like substrates.
This chambers allows applying flow through the pores of your scaffold while subjected to compressive loads and flow thorugh the lumen of your tubular scaffold when subjected to tension loads.
Apply perfusion through the pores of your scaffold while subjecting it to compressive loads.
Use this set of grips to create tension conditions on your sample while subjected to luminal flow.
Apply up to 4 bar of hydrostatic pressure to your samples using the TC-3 system.
