In vivo, all cells experience mechanical forces – why not in your laboratory?
Specific proteins in endothelial cells are only expressed under mechanical shear stress, not in resting conditions.
Wound healing processes are accelerated under flow-induced stimulation when compared to resting condition.
Blood pressure is controlled on a cellular level through shear stress induced compound release.
Overview of shear stress regulated pathways in endothelial cells.
Vitroscope was started in 2019 based on years of research at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology in collaboration with the University of Zurich. Our passion lies in creating user-friendly products that accelerate discoveries at the interface between engineering and life.
Solution



vitro.one – Integrated Microenvironment Control for Live Cell Microscopy
- Continuously observe cells live under physiological levels of flow-induced shear stress – one step closer to in vivo conditions.
- No adapters needed – no tools needed – fits on standard inverted microscope stages.
- Integrated heater, temperature control, bubble trap, and observable flow chamber.
- Contact us if you have a special wish or idea, like the perfusion of organoids or using your own microfluidic chip.
Key Technologies
Our patent-pending flow-chamber and platform technology is designed with and for researchers. We put a strong focus on making biologist’s work in the laboratory to flow as efficient and easy as possible. Our solution requires no special tools and no special adapters and fits right onto all standard microscope stages.
Tested over hundreds of hours – biocompatible – ready for discoveries.
