Offering optimum convenience and cost efficiency, they enable the user to culture, fix, stain and observe cells - all on one slide
For busy laboratories often working to a strict budget, products which provide genuine advantages and save time and money are vital.
Iwaki chamber slides, part of Bibby Sterilin's renowned cell biology plasticware range, do just that.
Offering optimum convenience and cost efficiency, they enable the user to culture, fix, stain and observe cells - all on one slide.
Available in chamber formats of one, two, four and eight, each individual chamber allows simultaneous multicultures.
Iwaki chamber slides are ideal for promoting uniform growth of small cultures for research purposes and in cases where only a minute sample is available.
During microscopic analysis, viewing of the cells is easier and more accurate than with conventional culture plates and flasks.
A non-toxic silicone adhesive attaches the polystyrene chambers to the glass base, and for viewing under a microscope they are simply manually removed from the glass slide.
To ensure maximum adherence of the cells to the glass surface, the slides are also available coated with poly-lysine.
For special requirements, Bibby Sterilin also supplies other protein substrate coatings on request.
