LumiScope for the detection of bioluminescence from aequorin and other luminescence probes.

The PatchPro systems are fully integrated patch clamping solutions that work in conjunction with fixed stage nosepiece focussing scopes from Olympus, Zeiss, Nikon and Leica. They allow the user to control manipulators, microscope platforms, microscope focus and temperature control all from one neat, simple user console. With the versatility to freely combine numerous individual devices, the PatchPro systems will be perfect for…

Crucial for every experimental setup is a stable mounting system. The Scientifica range of slice platforms, top plates and microscope stages has been developed for researchers using upright or inverted microscopes who would like to move outside the field of view of the objective. Various configurations can achieve this in different ways, either by translating the entire microscope between fixed apparatus, or where laser inputs…

The SliceMate is a temperature controlled submerged recording chamber for biological samples; neatly housed in one compact unit. It utilizes cutting edge technology to give outstanding temperature control in a compact, easy and convenient package which replaces the clumsy, slow reacting and problematic water bath designs. A peltier element allows you to heat or cool the solution whilst a data file of the actual temperature is…

The LBM-7 was designed and developed in conjunction with scientists to be stable, have low drift and be easy to use. It bridges the gap between coarse manipulators and micromanipulators. Affectionately known as the Little Blue Manipulator, this device can be easily configured from left to right-handed. With seven axes of movement, four linear and three rotational, combined with micron resolution, the LBM-7 was designed to serv…

For programmable dispensing, microinjection, perfusion or spritzing of reproducible microliter volumes. Pulse a valve quickly for microliter delivery, or leave it on for constant perfusion. The short delivery path saves expensive reagents.• Deliver microliter volumes starting with as little as 100 microliters of precious drugsSwitch between eight solutions in milliseconds from a single tip• Minimize cross-contamination with Ba…

Bubbles in perfusion systems are caused by solution temperature changes. As solutions warm, they cannot hold as much gas, so they off-gas. This forms bubbles in perfusion tubing. It is especially true in inline heaters where the temperature rises dramatically. The best cure for bubbles is to pre-warm your solutions. AutoMate Scientific introduces the BubbleStop™ Syringe Heater with integrated temperature sensor and feedback. S…

Program your AutoMate Scientific ValveBank® valve and TTL on-off sequences with a Windows 98, 2000, or XP computer using 'click-and-drag' timebars. Save and load unlimited programs to disk, print-out program listings, then download your programs into the ValveBank's memory in one simple step.Features: *Supports up to 16 channels *Open multiple experiment windows *List programs to screen or printer *Supports all ValveBank…

Brownlee's rugged yet easy-to-use amplifiers have four channels of a high gain/low noise amplification, lowpass filter and output offset control. A control knob adjusts amplifier parameters, and an alphanumeric LED readout displays values. There is a memory function for each channel. Input voltage noise is only 1.5µV rms.The Brownlee Precision Model 410 is a four-channel general purpose laboratory amplifier (one channel shown)…

In addition to the Model 410 amplifier's features, the Model 440 offers an 8-pole Bessel lowpass filter, auto-zeroing, a line notch filter, highpass filter, multiple memories per channel, and a digital voltmeter on 2 channels. A wide bandwidth of over 500 kHz at all gains insures smooth recordings.The Brownlee Precision Model 440 incorporates four channels of sophisticated amplifier and filter circuitry in a friendly easy-to-u…
