Product news
The new 3 well and 8 well removable cultivation chambers, in addition to the 12 well product, consist of a self-adhesive silicone gasket mounted on a standard glass slide.
Users benefit from various growth areas and small staining volumes (especially in the 3 Well Chamber, removable) that result in very cost-effective assays, using only small amounts of reagents. The removable chambers are compatible with upright and inverted microscopes, after staining and mounting with a coverslip. They are ideal for classic immunofluorescence staining and long-term sample storage.

Sample PreparationSample preparation can improve the quality and speed of separation techniques. Products to assist sample preparation include filtration equipment, evaporators, membranes and sieves.Fluorescence SpectroscopyFluorometers and spectrofluorometers (also called fluorescence spectrometers) are used to measure the intensity and wavelength of fluorescent light emitted from a sample after excitation by illumination. Spectrofluorometers utilize monochromators to select the desired wavelengths, whereas filter fluorometers employ a set of filters. Spectrofluorometers for measuring steady-state fluorescence and lifetime fluorescence (or time-resolved fluorescence) are available, as well as fluorescence microscopes and microplate readers.
