Ibidi - Labware - µ-Slide 8 Well high

• Chambered coverslip with 8 independent wells and a non-removable glass coverslip-bottom
• Bottom made from D 263 M Schott glass, No. 1.5H (170 +/- 5 µm)
• May require coating to promote cell attachment
• Individual well walls for minimizing well-to-well crosstalk and contaminations
• Compatible with staining and fixation solutions
• Also available as a µ-Slide 8 Well high with an ibidi Polymer Coverslip Bottom for superior cell growth
• Also available as an adhesive version without a bottom: sticky-Slide 8 Well high
• Additional version available with a 500 µm grid: µ-Slide 8 Well high Grid-500

• The Coverslip Bottom

  The µ-Slide 8 Well high Glass Bottom comes with a high precision D263 M Schott glass, No 1.5H (170 +/– 5 µm) Glass Coverslip Bottom. This Bottom is ideally suitable for high-resolution microscopy and special microscopic applications like TIRF or super-resolution.

Immunofluorescence

The ibidi µ-Slide 8 Well high Glass Bottom allows for standard immunofluorescence protocols to be employed without the use of coverslips in an all-in-one chamber. All steps (e.g., cell cultivation, fixation, staining, and imaging) are carried out in the open well geometry. After staining, the sample can be observed through the coverslip bottom using high-resolution microscopy.

Fluorescence staining of adherent fibroblast cells.
Blue: nuclei (DAPI). Green: F-actin cytoskeleton (Alexa488-Phalloidin), widefield fluorescence, objective lens 40x, oil immersion.

The µ-Slide 8 Well high Glass Bottom enables high-resolution live cell imaging using different brightfield and fluorescence techniques including TIRF and super-resolution microscopy.

Together with the ibidi Stage Top Incubation System, you can keep your cells happy for a long time by precisely controlling temperature, humidity, and CO₂ concentration on your microscope.
