Source: Claes, J., et al, In Vitro and In Vivo Model to Study Bacterial Adhesion to the Vessel Wall Under Flow Conditions. J. Vis. Exp. (2015).This video demonstrates a method for studying host-pathogen interactions using a micro-parallel plate flow chamber seeded with human primary endothelial cells. Following endothelial cell activation by an ionophore and perfusion with fluorescently labeled bacteria, the cells release von Willebrand factor (VWF), which binds bacterial adhesins under shear...

We are describing a method to subject adherent cells to laminar flow shear stress in a sterile continuous flow circuit. The cells' adhesion, morphology can be studied through the transparent chamber, samples obtained from the circuit for metabolite analysis and cells harvested after shear exposure for future experiments or culture.

A fast and inexpensive method for the behavioral determination of hearing parameters like hearing thresholds, hearing impairments or phantom perceptions (subjective tinnitus) is described. It uses pre-pulse inhibition of the acoustic startle response and can be easily implemented in a personal computer using a programmable AD/DA-converter and a piezo sensor.

The coefficient of restitution is a parameter that describes the loss of kinetic energy during collision. Here, a free-fall setup under vacuum conditions is developed to be able to determine the coefficient of restitution parameter for particles in micrometer range with high impact velocities.
FAQs
Compatibility determines whether selected wells or chambers can support the planned biological samples, media, reagents, and measurements. The plate configuration should match the experiment’s requirements for incubation, treatment, or imaging. Choosing suitable compartments helps maintain defined conditions across samples and reduces setup-related variation that could complicate comparisons between wells or experimental groups.
Defined volumes help keep sample, media, and reagent conditions consistent from one compartment to another. This consistency supports more reliable comparisons during parallel biological assays, including measurements of cellular growth, movement, morphology, or molecular activity. Uneven volumes can introduce differences in experimental conditions that may be mistaken for treatment effects or biological variation.
Maintaining sterility helps protect cells, specimens, media, and reagents from cross-contamination during setup and incubation. Clean handling and careful organization preserve the intended composition of each compartment, which is especially important when multiple samples or treatments are processed in parallel. Reduced contamination improves confidence that observed changes reflect the experiment rather than unintended interference.
Preparation begins by selecting compatible wells or chambers, then organizing the plate for the intended samples and conditions. Defined volumes of cells, media, reagents, or specimens are added while sterility is maintained. The completed plate is positioned for the next stage, such as incubation, treatment, or imaging, according to the experiment’s design.
Positioning should support the next experimental operation, whether the plate will undergo incubation, treatment, or imaging. Maintaining the planned arrangement allows each compartment to remain associated with its intended sample or condition during parallel analysis. Correct positioning therefore contributes to consistent handling and helps preserve interpretable comparisons across the plate over time.
This setup is useful when researchers need to examine multiple biological samples or conditions in parallel. Applications described for chamber plates include cell culture, microscopy, drug response testing, and assays of cellular growth, movement, morphology, or molecular activity over time. Separate compartments make it easier to organize treatments and compare resulting biological responses under controlled conditions.
