Steve Minne Introduction

Bruker‘s new
Life Sciences Newsletter

Biological discoveries in today’s research labs were the stuff of science fiction a mere decade ago: immunotherapies that “teach” our own immune system cells to defend us against cancer; genome editing to replace defective DNA with healthy DNA; regenerative medicine to slow the aging process; and the possibility of moving gene sequencing out of the lab and into day-to-day...

IN THIS ISSUE

article image Expanded Technology Enables the Most Advanced Life Sciences Research
In 2013, Bruker Corporation acquired Prairie Technologies, Inc. (Prairie), a provider of life science fluorescence microscopy products. Prairie Technologies led the way in developing the multiphoton fluorescence microscopy field. Their products and innovations are impressive and have created an enthusiastic following of customers who have used their instruments to... Read More

article image New BIOAFM Turbocharges Inverted Optical Microscopes
Certain phenomena related to the behavior of cells and tissues are known to be correlated to cellular mechanics. PeakForce QNM® is a groundbreaking atomic force microscopy imaging mode that provides unmatched quantitative characterization of these cellular biophysical mechanical properties. What has this to do with... Read More

article image High-Speed Super-Resolution Microscopy is Now Commercially Available
Quantitative analysis of cellular systems has not really expanded to nanoscopy, possibly because of the relatively slow recording speeds of large field-of-view images. This has impeded the use of single-molecule switching nanoscopy (SMSN) for systematic studies of complex cell biological processes. Bruker’s Vutara 350™ breaks this time-consuming image-acquisition paradigm. It is the world’s first video nanoscope with the fastest super-resolution SML microscope commercially available...Read More

article image Multipoint Confocal Imaging Delivers High Resolution and Speed
Bruker’s Opterra multipoint confocal microscope is an ideal solution for gentle and fast confocal imaging of live cell preparations. The system combines the resolution of traditional confocal systems with the speed normally associated with wide-field imaging. This speed, coupled with its sensitivity and resolution, significantly enhances the ability to provide 3D visualization of the neural activity of specimens at speeds that were previously... Read More

article image Perform Unique Nanomechanical Experiments with AFM
Investigating the nanomechanical properties of cells, as well as understanding how cells react to and exert forces within their environment, has become an extremely important area of Life Science research, and atomic force microscopy is widely recognized as an excellent technique for studying cells under near physiological conditions. Atomic force microscopy offers a unique capability for studying, and ultimately quantifying, these... Read More
