Spark brings together the capabilities of an automated incubator, a microplate reader and
a cell imager in one, offering new possibilities for you and your lab.
Credit UCLA bioengineer Aydogan Ozcan, who has come up with a way to convert a cell phone camera into a blood -
cell imager that can potentially eliminate the need to send blood to a lab.
Not exact matches
Researchers are probing the brain with increasingly powerful tools, including superfast magnetic resonance
imagers and microelectrodes that can detect the murmurs of individual brain
cells.
As with the other self - diagnosis tools, home use of Ozcan's
cell phone blood
imager is a ways off, but it is already being looked at for pilot programs in remote locations where doctors and lab equipment are in short supply.
After 15 minutes,
cells were washed 3 times with PBS and then visualized live using a GE InCell 2000
imager.
Cells were treated for 18 hours, after which they were fixed, permeabilized, and HMOX1 expression determined via immunofluoresence captured on a GE InCell
imager.
Cells were treated with indicated compound at selected concentrations for 18 hours after which HMOX1 expression was determined by immunofluoresence and quantified on a GE InCell
imager.
The number and intensity of ROS - stained
cells were captured with a GE InCell
imager and the percentage of
cells expressing ROS above a set threshold were determined; positive values show pairs of means that are significantly different.
