Flex Jr.™ Tension System
Stretch cells in a single baseplate or in real-time with a microscopy device:
- Smaller capacity, computer-regulated bioreactor that applies cyclic or static tensile strains to cells cultured in vitro.
- Regulated vacuum pressure deforms flexible membranes in a single Flexcell® 6-well culture plate and in Flexcell® microscopy devices.
- In vivo tissue strains and frequencies simulated to view real-time responses in cells from muscle, lung, heart, blood vessels, skin, tendon, ligament, cartilage, and bone.
- State-of-the-art digital valve automatically regulates and maintains pressure for a specified strain regimen.
- System works with StageFlexer®, StageFlexer® Jr., and FlexFlow™ microscope devices.
- Multiple frequency, amplitude, and waveform changes can be programmed in one regimen.
- Available waveforms: static, sinusoidal, heart stimulation, triangular, square and custom
System includes:
- Flex Jr.™ Tension FlexLink®
- Laptop computer
- FlexSoft® Flex Jr.™ Software
- Single Plate Baseplate Kit
- Tubing and Adaptor Kit

Flex Jr.™ Tension System
Our Flex Jr.™ Tension System allows you to stretch cells in a single baseplate or in real-time with a microscopy device. The Flex Jr.™ is a smaller capacity, computer-regulated cell stretching bioreactor system that applies cyclic or static tensile strains to cells cultured in vitro. In vivo tissue strains and frequencies are simulated to view real-time responses in cells from muscle, lung, heart, blood vessels, skin, tendon, ligament, cartilage, and bone.
FX-6000™ Tension System
Our FX-6000T™ Tension System is a computer-regulated bioreactor that uses positive and negative air pressure to apply cyclic or static mechanical strain to cells cultured on flexible-bottomed culture plates. The FX-6000T™ Tension System allows researchers to simulate in vivo tissue strains and frequencies in vitro that mimic in vivo conditions in cells from muscle, lung, heart, vascular vessels, skin, tendon, ligament, cartilage, and bone.
