Imaging & Analysis

The Imaging & Analysis category encompasses a wide range of automated systems and instruments used to capture, quantify, and interpret biological data through visual and fluorescence-based methods. These tools are essential in molecular biology, cell biology, drug discovery, diagnostics, and clinical research, allowing researchers to extract meaningful insights from experiments involving gel electrophoresis, cellular assays, high-throughput screening, and fluorescent detection. The Imaging & Analysis category includes key systems such as gel documentation systems, cell counters, flow cytometers, and fluorescence plate readers. Each instrument serves a specific purpose in capturing and quantifying biological processes or molecular interactions. The Imaging & Analysis category relies on gel documentation systems to capture high-resolution images of electrophoresis gels stained with DNA or protein dyes. These systems are essential for analyzing nucleic acid integrity, protein expression, and fragment size estimation in workflows like PCR validation, restriction digestion, and Western blotting. The Imaging & Analysis category utilizes cell counters, both manual and automated, to measure cell concentration, viability, apoptosis, and proliferation in research and clinical environments. Automated systems eliminate user bias and offer high-throughput capabilities for reproducible cell-based assays. The Imaging & Analysis category employs flow cytometers to provide rapid, multi-parameter analysis of individual cells or particles, often used in immunophenotyping, cancer research, cell cycle analysis, and cell sorting. These high-throughput systems detect fluorescence and light scattering to characterize populations with exceptional precision.
