Cell culture:

NuAire CO2 Incubators (4)
CO2 Incubators | Cell Culture Incubator | NuAire

NuAire CO2 incubators integrate a comprehensive set of systems to create a controlled environment for cell culture growth in a chamber that is then protected by a multi-layered defense from contamination. The standard infrared CO2 sensor accurately measures chamber gas levels regardless of temperature or humidity while separately adjustable chamber and door heaters ensure balanced chamber uniformity. Each cell culture incubator features a smooth, easy to clean stainless steel inner chamber where the air is both kept at positive pressure and constantly filtered to an ISO 5 level to prevent external contamination of cell cultures. A multilingual touch panel control system common to all models allows easy input of every set point as well as on-screen and downloadable data monitoring to document historical culture growth conditions.

Nanotemper Monolith nt.115 (1)
The original Monolith NT.115 lineup - Monolith NT.115 instruments

Monolith uses MST technology to quantify molecular interactions between a target and ligand by detecting changes in fluorescence intensity while a temperature gradient is applied over time. With a broad sensitivity range, the Monolith measures Kds varying from pM to mM. As it can measure in solution of most buffers, both binding partners are free to interact in their native conformation, you’ll finally get results. It requires minimal regular maintenance has no fluids, meaning no required regular maintenance.

Customized optical coherence tomography/microscopy (OCT/OCM)

Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is an imaging technique that uses low-coherence light to capture micrometer-resolution, two- and three-dimensional images from within optical scattering media (e.g., biological tissue). It is used for medical imaging and industrial nondestructive testing (NDT). Optical coherence tomography is based on low-coherence interferometry, typically employing near-infrared light. The use of relatively long wavelength light allows it to penetrate into the scattering medium. Confocal microscopy, another optical technique, typically penetrates less deeply into the sample but with higher resolution.
