Life Sciences Products & Reviews

Extend your particle imaging capabilities from 300 μm to 5 mm with FlowCam® Macro for aquatic and environmental research and materials characterization. Obtain detailed morphological data along with accurate counting and sizing measurements to enable differentiation of diverse zooplankton species and particle types.

VisualSpreadsheet® is a powerful software program capable of setting up analysis methods, acquiring data, and processing images captured with FlowCam.

Innovative particle characterization with FlowCam® LO combines flow imaging microscopy (FIM) and light obscuration (LO) into a single analytical solution. Beyond the compendial light obscuration method to fulfill USP <787> and <788> requirements, flow imaging microscopy provides an orthogonal method for quality control of subvisible particulate matter.

VisualAI™, an add-on module for VisualSpreadsheet 6, is a pre-trained, AI-driven image analysis module that recognizes images of biopharmaceutical aggregates captured on any FlowCam 8100 or FlowCam LO instrument. VisualAI is a powerful tool for quantifying protein aggregate and silicone oil droplet content in protein-based drug products.

The automatic colony counter is an advanced instrument in microbiology testing, widely used in testing bacteria in food, pharmaceutical, biological, cosmetics and hygeinic products. There is only one switch on the instrument, which enhances device longevity. The whole colony-counting process is completed on the software on PC. The HCC-90A and B series have a separate laptop included.

The Transcreener dAMP Exonuclease Assay directly measures dAMP produced by exonuclease enzymes as they cleave polynucleotides. 

For labs that require high throughput and automated RNA in situ hybridization (ISH) analysis, ACD has partnered with Leica Biosystems and Roche Tissue Diagnostics to deliver RNAscope ISH automated assays.

The BaseScope™ Assay is a unique product from ACD, based on the same platform of proven and established RNAscope™ technology that has been cited in over 2300 publications. This powerful assay provides new data dimensions and unique insight into biological mechanisms. The BaseScope™ Assay enables applications such as the detection of exon junctions/splice variants, short/highly homologous RNA sequences (50-300 bases), and poin…

The RNAscope™ and BaseScope™ Assays are based on the proprietary RNAscope Technology enabling RNA target expression analysis within intact cells and tissues with high sensitivity and specificity. Using proprietary ACD RNAscope Probe Design Pipeline, we provide double "Z" oligo probes designed to hybridize to your specific RNA target of interest.

Introducing RNAscope HiPlex assay to expand your in situ hybridization potential.

The DNAscope chromogenic duplex (red/blue) staining allows researchers to use a standard bright-field microscope to visualize and quantify gene copy number variations (amplifications/deletions) and gene rearrangements/fusions in tissues with spatial and morphological context at single cell resolution.

The RNAscope Plus™ smRNA-RNA assay allows simultaneous detection of 1 smRNA and up to 3 RNA targets within a single sample using up to four target probes. 

AZtecLive and Ultim™ Max (Silicon Drift Detector) for EDS analysis, combine live electron images with live X-ray chemical imaging to allow a revolutionary change in how users investigate their samples in the SEM.

AZtecTEM, powered by Ultim™ Max (Silicon Drift Detector), provides exceptional elemental characterisation abilities in the TEM.
