Product Information - Equipment

Flexcell Tension System (FX-5000T)
The FX-5000T is a computer-regulated bioreactor that applies cyclic or static tensile strains to cells cultured in vitro. Uses regulated vacuum pressure to deform cells cultured on flexible-bottomed culture plates (BioFlex, Tissue Train, and UniFlex series), producing up to 33% elongation.
