High-Throughput Label-free Cell Interaction Studies

At the ASCB | EMBO 2017 meeting, we introduced z-Movi®, a new platform for cell interaction studies. This new method enables direct and label-free screening and sorting of thousands of cells based on their interaction with cell or protein targets. z-Movi® is a breakthrough technology for research and development of personalized therapies, including immunotherapy. It is…

Introducing m-Trap® Optical Tweezers

Today, we release the m-Trap®. Watch the launch video! The m-Trap is the first dedicated optical tweezers platform specifically designed to enable scientists to manipulate and measure at the single-molecule level with ultra-high resolution, stability & throughput, at an unprecedented price. We hope that introducing this instrument will bring us closer to the LUMICKS dream of truly unlocking single-molecule analysis.
