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, the comprehensive lumox® and x-well product range from SARSTEDT provides ideal solutions for superior optical results of your cell imaging tests.

x-well Cell Culture Chambers:

  • 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.

lumox® multiwell &dish

  • 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.

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.

Explore a range of a gel imaging systems, densitometers, scanners, transilluminators or UV lamp + CCD cameras for your image analysis solutions. Colorimetric, fluorescent and/or radioisotopic samples can be visualized and documented for further analysis. See gel doc / Image analysis software for quantitative 1D and 2D analysis of your samples.

The application of many fluorochromes has made it possible to identify cells and sub-microscopic cellular components with a high degree of specificity. Using multiple fluorescence labels, different probes can simultaneously identify several target molecules.Live Cell ImagingLive cell imaging is the study of living cells using microscopes and high-content imaging systems. This technique provides in-depth insight into fast and complex biological processes, by allowing dynamic imaging of living cells instead of acquiring an individual image at a single point in time.
