MultiFluor Western Blotting kits, a new line of reagents optimized for the FluorChem M, are launching jointly — creating a combined offering that provides a complete solution for multicolor fluorescent imaging.

26-Jan-2011: The BioFlux 1000Z provides an integrated solution for running live cell assays under flow using Fluxion’s Well Plate Microfluidic™ devices. It features a fully-auto-mated imaging workstation built around the industry-leading ZEISS AxioObserver microscope.

26-Jan-11: Combining GFP-AngioKits with IncuCyte FLR enables kinetic and quantitative measurements of both the stimulation and inhibition of microvascular tubule formation. This unique combination shows how the GFPAngioKit, in conjunction with IncuCyte FLR, can be used to screen for drugs affecting all stages of angiogenesis and to dissect signal transduction pathways.

29-Jun-10: The new FluorChem® E sets a new standard for high-performance chemiluminescent Western blot and gel imaging.

29-Jun-10: The new NanoPro 100 system offers the same analytical power as the high-throughput NanoPro 1000 system, but in a compact, benchtop system designed for lower-throughput laboratories and individual investigators.

29-Jun-10: The CellPlayer Cell Migration 96-well assay for the IncuCyte Cell Imaging Systems offers a more precise and reproducible label-free method for monitoring the key biological processes involved in cell migration.

16-Dec-09: Trinean's DropSense96® is a novel generation of multi-channel UV-VIS spectrophotometer suitable for high throughput spectral analysis of microliter samples of biomolecules or small compounds.

01-Dec-09: Bucher Biotec AG is very proud to announce the appointment as the exclusive Swiss Distributor for Denator AB’s product portfolio.
Swedish based Denator AB is very well known for its Stabilizor™ T1 system, the company’s first commercially available system for instant stabilization of tissue samples.

14-Jul-09: The Hamilton BioLevitator™ is the first all-in-one Benchtop 3D Cell Culture System for High Cell Yield and Significantly Simplified Workflow.

14-Jul-09: Fluxion Biosciences introduces the BioFlux 1000 Workstation – a cell analysis system that integrates the company’s Well Plate Microfluidic™ technology with automated microscopy for highthroughput shear flow assays.

14-Jul-09: Fluxion Biosciences, a leading provider of functional cell biology platforms, introduces the IonFlux-HT and IonFlux-16 Automated Patch Clamp Systems, bringing significant gains in throughput, workflow simplicity and affordability to ion channel research.

24-Mar-09: With the launch of the IncuCyte^FLR System for fluorescent-labeled cells, Essen Instruments introduced a third system for live cell imaging.

IncuCyte^FLR incorporates both HD imaging and single-channel fluorescence in addition to two different resolution settings. This configuration is ideal for following live-cell reporters in applications which include stem cell research, co-culture angiogenesis, cell motility and proliferation.

24-Mar-09: Labcyte has developed the POD™ 810, an integrated “Plate-On-Demand” workstation controlled by a revolutionary intellectual scheduler to increase the productivity of secondary screening labs.

11-Aug-08: The XF24 Extracellular Flux Analyzer from Seahorse Bioscience is a better way to profile bioenergetics.By measuring both mitochondrial respiration and glycolysis simultaneously and in real-time, the XF24 provides physiologically relevant insight into the effect of drug treatments, gene transfections and toxins on cell metabolism.

11-Aug-08: With the launch of the Octet® RED System for label-free, real-time kinetic analysis of drug compounds, FortéBio introduced a second system for the analysis of molecular interaction.

10-Aug-07: ForteBio’s Octet family of instruments and related consumables provides scientists with real-time information about biomolecular interactions. The Octet System is comprised of the Octet instrument, Octet software, and biosensors. The system uses Bio-Layer Interferometry (BLI) technology to enable real-time analysis of biomolecular interactions in recoverable small sample sizes.

2-Mar-07: The Arcturus^XT is the only open, modular microdissection instrument to combine Laser Capture Microdissection (LCM) with precise UV laser cutting, offering researchers superior speed, precision and flexibility. The modular instrument is built upon the Nikon TE2000U™ and allows the system utility to expand as research requirements grow.

6-Mar-06: We are most pleased to announce our relocation to the exciting new facilities at the second floor of the „WHITE PLAZA“ in Basel. After twenty years at the previous office location we required more space for our continued growth.

The White Plaza building was designed by the world famous architect Richard Meier, well known amongst so many other prestigioues projects for the design of the Getty Center in Los Angeles.
