Bi/ond combines feeding, stimulating and monitoring of cells in one microchip

Lab researcher with microscope

We have been featured in the latest Labvision magazine issue !

For a few months, our biology team has been using a Nikon microscope to image some of our experiments. For the moment, we have used it mostly with fixed tissue slides on the basis of fluorescence to look at the suitable expression markers of different cell types, and confirm that the barrier functions properly. 

As next step, we will also do live cell experiments with it, for instance to follow up how cells move from one to another compartment; or if you have muscle tissue in a pillar in our MUSbit, to observe how the flow of medicine affects the muscle contraction.

If you have a hard copy of the magazine, go to pages 56-59 to read more.
