Product news
Regardless of whether you are carrying out fluorescence- or light microscopic analyses on living or fixated cells, individual analyses or parallel test series, our comprehensive lumox® and x-well product range provides ideal solutions for superior optical results of your cell imaging tests.
- x-well cell culture chambers are available with slides made of PCA, glass, cover glass or the lumox® film with excellent optical properties for optimal results in your cell imaging tests.
- The high-quality slide surfaces are ideally suited for the cultivation of adherent cells.
- All steps of histological and fluorescence staining can be conveniently carried out in a time-efficient manner.
- Small compartments enable most efficient testing by reducing cell numbers and reagents.
- Easy and convenient handling – The chambers of all products marked ”detachable“ can be detached from the slide without a tool, leaving no adhesive residues on the slide.
- The gas-permeable, highly transparent film base is ideal for excellent results in microscopic analyses of living and fixated cells.
- Black 24-, 96- and 384-well cell culture plates with lumox® film base (50 µm) for fluorescence microscopy.
- lumox® dishes (25 µm film base) are available with a diameter of 35 mm and 50 mm.
- For further analyses, (e.g. electron microscopy) the lumox® film can be excised.

Cell / Tissue CultureCell culture or tissue culture is used to study the biology of cells or tissues and to isolate cellular products in an environment which can be manipulated and well defined. Accurately control your culture environment with bioreactors or culture incubators, bind your cells to a surface or together with an extracellular matrix. Distinguish cell types with differential media or proliferate cells with certain characteristics using selective media. Enrich your media with supplements such as growth factors, sera and vitamins. Find the best cell and tissue culture products, kits and equipment in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.High-Throughput ScreeningHigh-throughput screening (HTS) is an automated drug discovery technique for identification of active compounds against a compound library. Use HTS readers and integrated assay preparation / analysis workstations to screen your compounds. Identify active compounds against various HTS libraries, including membranes, proteins and peptides and HTS cell lines.

This can reveal information on cell health (apoptosis, cytotoxicity, viability and proliferation assays), cell metabolism, cell migration and cell signaling mechanisms. Find the best cell-based assay products, kits and equipment with our peer reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receiving pricing direct from manufacturers.High-Content ScreeningHigh-content screening (HCS), also known as high-content analysis (HCA), is a high-throughput technique used in drug discovery to identify substances that alter the phenotype of cells. HCS uses fluorescent microscopic imaging and automated image analysis to investigate cellular events such as apoptosis, cell viability, GPCR activation, oxide production, neurite outgrowth, and cell signaling. Find the best fluorescent labeling reagents, cellular assays, and high-content imaging systems in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.Microbiology ConsumablesCell ImagingCell imaging can be achieved using a number of techniques including confocal microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy, and light sheet microscopy.Cell AnalysisThe analysis of cells allows researchers to understand the factors which contribute to cell health and function. These influencing processes can then be predicted and altered, leading to the development of medication and disease treatments.
