Chitozen slides

Description

Chitozen is a chitosan-coated coverslip immobilizing bacteria for microscopy without inducing bacteriostatic effects.

Kit contents: 5-coverslips alone

Order you coverslips alone if you need to work in an open system (i.e. for AFM imaging). If using the Chitozen coverslips alone, separate wells can be created manually by using a sealing glue or Stencell silicon chambers.

Chitozen coverslips are compatible with 6-channel sticky slides to work in a closed system in static or dynamic flow conditions.

Chitozen is efficient with the following bacteria:
E. coli
Bacillus subtilis
Caulobacter crescentus
Corynebacterium glutamicum
Helicobacter pylori
Mycobacterium smegmatis
Myxococcus xanthus
Pseudomonas aeruginosa
Pseudomonas fluorescens
Salmonella
Staphylococcus aureus
Vibrio cholerae
This list is updated regularly according to feedback provided by researchers who use Chitozen.

Lifetime: up to 12-month storage at room temperature, shielded from direct sunlight.

A technology designed by Tâ​m ​Mignot, Olivier Theodoly, Amandine Desorme, Guillaume Sudre and Laurent David.
