微流控細(xì)胞壓縮系統(tǒng)FX-5000C的優(yōu)點(diǎn)：
1）產(chǎn)生高達(dá)14磅作用力的正氣壓力（最小力分辨率為0.1磅力）
2）在來(lái)自肌肉、肺、心臟、血管、皮膚、肌腱、韌帶、軟骨和骨骼的3D構(gòu)建或組織樣本中模擬的體內(nèi)組織應(yīng)變和頻率；
3）使用BioPress培養(yǎng)板或StagePresser顯微鏡設(shè)備在活塞和固定壓板之間壓縮樣品
4）在一個(gè)方案內(nèi)編程多個(gè)頻率、幅度和波形變化，頻率范圍從0.01到5.0Hz；
5）一個(gè)FX-5000微流控壓縮系統(tǒng)可以驅(qū)動(dòng)四個(gè)FlexLink控制器
6）可在Windows7系統(tǒng)上運(yùn)行FlexSoft FX-5000操作軟件
