The Flexcell® Tension Systems for Life Science Research

Since many years, Dunn Labortechnik is the exclusiveDistributor for Europe and the Middle East for the whole product range of theAmerican company Flexcell^®International.

Particularly designed for the in vitro analysis of biomechanicalapplications, Flexcell´s innovative Tension Systems enable the user to induceand observe the results of cyclic or static stress on cells and tissues.

Flexcell^® International offers for tension applicationsthe main FX-6000™ Tension System, which functions with both regulated vacuumpressure and positive air pressureto move the membranes of flexible-bottomed culture plates more effectively. Theadded application of positive pressure in the FX-6000™ system facilitates thereturn of the membrane to its neutral position more effectively than only atmosphericpressure. Therefore, the FX-6000™ Tension System generates even smootherwaveforms with no overshoot or oscillation in waveform. The addition of drycompressed air also helps to reduce possible build-up of moisture in the system.

For customers with a tighter budget and low throughput,Flexcell^® offers the FLEX JR.™ Tension System with a single plate baseplate kit as an affordable alternative to themore versatile and comprehensive "big brother", the FX-6000™ TensionSystem.

The Flexcell^®Tension Systems are compatible with the microscopy devices StageFlexer®, Inverted StageFlexer I^®, StageFlexer® Jr.,and the FlexFlow™ Shear Stress System.
