FLECS TECHNOLOGY
FLuorescent Elastomeric Contractible Surfaces
Enabling functional force control discovery — find compounds correcting cell force
Intuitive visualization of cellular contractile force – cells “squeeze” micro-patterns causing size change
Well-plate format (24, 96, 384) to enable automation and truly high-throughput
Advanced Engineering
Micro-engineering innovations enable us to embed millions of adhesive, single-cell, force sensors into every plate
Independent selection of: (i) film stiffness, (ii) micropattern material, (iii) micro-pattern size and (iv) micropattern shape, enables studies of virtually any force biology
Standard Well-Plate Format
FLECS Technology is seamlessly integrated into the standard SLAS well-plate format
Each 384-well contains >1,200 individual single-cell force sensors.
