Description

Description: Chitozen is a chitosan-coated coverslip that can be used to image bacteria still or alive. It can also be used to perform long-term imaging or testing changes in growth conditions and analysing cell behaviour.

It is compatible with 6-channel sticky slides for flow experiments. It is very helpful if you want to: 


Image bacteria both still and alive under the microscope
-Maintain bacteria in a same focal plane for imaging while preserving their physiology 
-Renew culture medium, change growth condition (e.g. antibiotics, chemicals, inhibitors) during the experiment and directly -observe, in real-time, the bacteria new comportment under the microscope

1 slide and 1 sticky slide per pack

Applications

Assay compatibility
> Fluorescence
> Co-cultures (bacterial predators, immune cells)
> Addition of external factors (e.g. antibiotics, chemicals, inhibitors)
> Static or dynamic conditions

Imaging modes: 
> phase-contrast, 
> epifluorescence, 
> confocal, 
> super-resolution microscopy, 
> atomic force microscopy (AFM) - documentation & example pictures available on request

Experimental outputs:
