"Great tool to rapidly extract proteins from tissue samples."

Rating: ?????

Application area: Processing of mouse tissue samples for Protein extraction

"Very easy to operate and a very small benchtop equipment. It takes a while to adapt current protocol to maximise extraction, however, guidelines for each tissue type are provided. Overall, it is a useful tool to have."

Measurement of rat retina layers thickness

Measurement of the retina layers thickness is critical in the evaluation of the retina anatomy particularly in the context of drug testing. Here we present a simple method to measure the retina layers thickness using the InCellis cell imaging system […]

Label free, non invasive monitoring of primary cells from breast tumors

There is growing concern regarding the possible role of pollutants as a cancer risk factor. Herbicide glyphosate has been shown to increase the proliferation of human breast cancer cells via a estrogen-regulated pathway. Here, the role of glyphosate in breast cancer is investigated with InCellis cell imager with a simple scratch test assay.

Application Note
Over the past years, airborne observation, intelligence and reconnaissance have become increasingly vital to the strengthening of national defense and security capabilities. This is why tethered aerostats represent a tailored, persistent and cost-effective surveillance solution to both protect and defend public and private interests. To support the operational needs of its customers, CNIM Group''s subsidiaries, CNIM Air Space and Bertin, have developed 2 complementary solutions adapted to long-range night and day monitoring: the White Hawk tethered aerostat, and the CamSight LP OEM camera module.
