Cell manipulation offers numerous possibilities for the advancement of research in cellular diagnostics, gene delivery, stem cell sorting and for assays that are based on single cells. Direct manipulation of cells is often the more preferred choice because researchers have better access to selection of cells that is more precise, something that averaging a select cell population will not offer. There are several tools that are effective for cell manipulation. These include: (more…)

Molecular biology laboratories all over the world have a great variety of concerns, and one of the greatest is creating methods, protocols, techniques, and machines that can make their work faster. In particular, laboratories want to make their work more efficient, so that for as little work as possible, for a minimal amount of funds, and in the least amount of time, they can come up with useful experimental results that can lead to great discoveries that can do everything from changing mankind, to getting the lab more money to do more work. One such study involves the use of membrane microarray for profiling and cell manipulation microscopy. (more…)

Studying and manipulating cells in the laboratory is no easy task. First, scientists have to know what cells they will be manipulating, so that they know what tools they should use. Second, scientists should carefully establish their protocols, so that if anything goes wrong in the end processes following cell manipulation, they will know exactly what troubleshooting they need to do. Cell work begins with picking the right cell to work on, and this is why flow cytometry and cell manipulation are tied closely together. (more…)

When you hear the term biophotonics, you might correlate it with either a very boring physics lecture, or an attempt of New Age advocates to cross over into science and technology. In general, however, biophotonics is the study of how photons, or the elements of light, work and interact amongst other elements of biological systems. Cellular biophotonics, therefore, deals with how light can work for or against different biological phenomena. What interests scientists, however, is how cellular biophotonics and cell manipulation can come together. (more…)

In this day and age of scientific advances that come by the hour, even the media is well-informed on the latest in laboratory work all over the world. If you have been constantly watching the news, reading the newspapers, or even browsing through online journals to look for scientific news to read about, then you might have read about scientists manipulating cells and creating changes with a few well-designed, precise instruments. To help them do this, they need cell manipulation microscopes. (more…)
