A benchtop flow chamber grows Pseudomonas biofilms at cystic fibrosis airway shear stress

IBEC's XpertBiofilm holds shear stress between 0.02 and 0.9 mPa on a removable coverslip that a standard microplate reader can score, and within that range more flow produced more Pseudomonas aeruginosa biomass.
