Eikonix, the Cambridge based imaging experts have recently introduced the MF50 Inverted Fluorescence Microscope to the UK market. This latest addition to the range of fluorescence microscopes and specialist blue/green LED lighting units gives customers an even greater choice when looking to purchase a high quality microscope unit at an affordable price.
This chemiluminescent product joins the Company’s extensive range of over 800 reagents and consumables for the life scientist. Chemi FP has attomole sensitivity and a very long lasting signal output. The light emission is stable for 10 times longer than with typical ECL substrates. This now enables the user to detect bands not usually visualised with other substrates that are commonly used. Importantly, the high signal-to-noise level and large dynamic range of the product makes it ideal for quantifying low intensity bands.
The AutoTEC a120 is a second-generation, fully automated tissue embedder that eliminates the labor intensive need to manually orient and embed tissue specimens and form tissue or cell paraffin blocks. The AutoTEC technology, combined with the Paraform® Sectionable Cassette System ensure that the orientation of specimens is locked from grossing to microtomy for all routine tissue types, thereby eliminating the risk of orientation mistakes...
Bruker today introduces four important new preclinical imaging systems at the World Molecular Imaging Congress 2015 in Honolulu, Hawaii.
