Can I use any slides, other than the ibidi µ-Slides, with the ibidi Pump System?

Even though the ibidi Pump System is designed and optimized to work with ibidi µ-Slides, any flow channel can be used to study shear stress on cells, as long as it can be attached to the Perfusion Set. We recommend using standard female Luer adapters on a custom-flow chamber.

Please keep in mind that the pump only supplies an air pressure between -95 mbar and +95 mbar. This means that the flow resistance must not be too high. Furthermore, the PumpControl software will not be able to calculate the shear stress from the given air pressure, when any slides other than the ibidi µ-Slides are used.
