The STB-1400 is not suitable for long-term culture, as it requires daily replenishment of culture fluid. We recommend using our stretching systems suitable ...

We use reagents with phenols on RNA extraction. How much will the silicone materials of the chambers degrade when we add the reagents directly?  We recomme...

We recommend collagen gels for use in 3D cyclic stretching at this time. We have successfully used the following gel in house: KOKEN’s DME-02 Neutral collag...

It is not recommended to coat chambers under UV rays. UV exposure after coating may denature proteins in the extracellular matrix on the chamber and may aff...

In producing the stretch chambers, STREX works to assure that there are no creases or other imperfections on any of the surfaces. However, given the excepti...

STREX Stretch chambers are hydrophilicated with plasma processing before shipping.

Some cells adhere without coating. For example, some cells secrete collagens, such as smooth muscle cells and fibroblasts. You can check the degree of coati...

We coat with fibronectin just before using and have never done air-drying. However, some users have reported air-drying after coating with collagen.

We do not recommend conducting any treatments on the surface of the chambers. Some chamber treatment during the manufacturing process such as plasma process...

Cell adhesion to the stretch chamber membrane is entirely dependent on the cells bonding to the extracellular matrix coating. The cells themselves vary in a...
