SRU Biosystems Introduces Label-free Instrument & Applications for Stem Cells at SBS 2010

SRU will feature the first-of-its-kind label-free, high resolution reader, the BIND® SCANNER, at booth 710. The BIND® SCANNER is designed for low cell number, high throughput primary and stem cell assays such as cytotoxicity, chemotaxis and differentiation. The SCANNER will also be featured in a technical workshop on Tuesday, April 13th at 8:00am as well as in several scientific posters.

Also in SRU’s booth will be 2 other label-free BIND Readers ideal for low to high throughput biochemical and cell-based applications. Stop by and discuss your application needs with our scientific booth staff or pick up information about our latest applications including cytotoxicity, chemotaxis, ion channel and GPCR profiling assays.

Booth 710

New Products:
