Keyence Microscope Product 1

The Keyence microscope is a user-friendly, fully enclosed microscope that enables the capture of fluorescent, brightfield, and phase contrast images. It is digitally controlled to produce publication-quality images of various imaging techniques, including well scanning, image cytometry, high-speed image stitching, Z-stacking, optical sectioning, live cell imaging, video capture, 3D measurement and analysis of cells, and motion analysis. The automatic focusing feature enables users to maintain focus throughout the automatically stitched image. The microscope is equipped with 2x, 4x, 10x, 20x, and 40x objective lenses that can accommodate GFP, DAPI, TRITC, and Cherry Red fluorescent filters. This service is provided with assistance.

Advance Solutions Robotic 3D Printer Product 2

Description: BioAssemblyBot 500 is the only six-axis biofabrication device with an integrated Class II, Type-A biosafety cabinet. BAB500 can be easily taught to translate your biology recipe into clinical solutions. BioAssemblyBot swaps “hands” giving users the ability to 3D bioprint while controlling temperature, pressure, UV exposure, and more with our ever-growing catalog tools. You can use up to 10 BioAssemblyBot Hands in a single run.

Keyence Microscope Live Imaging Product 3

The Keyence microscope is a user-friendly, fully enclosed microscope that enables the capture of fluorescent, brightfield, and phase contrast images. Live cell imaging is enhanced by the inclusion of an incubator attachment to the microscope, which facilitates the control of temperature, CO2 concentration, and humidity, enabling adaptation to various growth conditions. This attachment allows for systematic imaging of live cells over an extended period without the need to remove them from their respective growth conditions at each imaging interval. The autofocus feature enables the capture of high-resolution images at every frame.
