A recent publication in the journal eLife describes a multidisciplinary study evaluating how the mechanical properties of actin filaments regulate the binding of associated proteins. Specifically, the researchers used the C-Trap® to demonstrate how applied forces on actin filaments enhance … Continue Reading
We are happy to announce the installation of a C-Trap® Optical Tweezers – Fluorescence and Label-free Microscopy system at the National Center for Biotechnology (CNB), Madrid, managed by the lab of Dr. Fernando Moreno-Herrero. The team will use the C-Trap … Continue Reading
LUMICKS reached the 6th position in the list LinkedIn Top Start-ups 2020 in the Netherlands. We’re extremely proud to be among the most resilient companies during these changing times. The LinkedIn editors define start-ups as privately held companies, that are no … Continue Reading
We are excited to announce that our latest application note, Real-time detection of kinase conformational changes in the presence of a small-molecule inhibitor, is available to download. The application note is perfect for protein research, as it showcases how you … Continue Reading
A recent publication from the research lab of Dr. Bo Sun presents new findings in the field of gene editing that may help improve in vivo delivery of CRISPR-Cas9 complexes. The team investigated the DNA-binding properties of Staphylococcus aureus Cas9 … Continue Reading
In a recent publication, researchers at the University of Illinois at Chicago used the C-Trap® to study the relationship between structural properties of biomolecular condensates and their fusion times. They found that fusion times, an indicator of condensate density, varies … Continue Reading
A recently published study from the lab of Prof. Sarah Köster at the University of Göttingen investigated how electrostatic conditions influence the mechanical properties of intermediate filament vimentin, such as structural stability. The researchers assessed these features by stretching the … Continue Reading
We are proud to announce the first publication showing results from cell–cell interaction measurements using the z-Movi® Cell Avidity Analyzer! In the study, Fernández de Larrea et al. demonstrate how cell avidity between CAR T cells and target multiple myeloma … Continue Reading
A recent publication in the journal Scientific Reports describes a new method to create arrays of nucleosome positioning motifs. Through sequential Gibson Assembly reactions, the researchers managed to clone a series of sequence motifs, with high affinity for histone octamers, … Continue Reading
We were happy to find yet another publication from the lab of Dr. Priya Banerjee with results from C-Trap® analyses! This time his lab examined the formation and features of vesicle-like RNA–protein structures, which differ from the more known uniform … Continue Reading
