Gel Documentation and Microarray Systems

Alpha Innotech offer a range of microarray, gel documentation systems and reagent kits. The AlphaArray™ Reader, designed exclusively for reading microarrays, provides sensitivity, speed of acquisition, data integrity and flexibility in functional genomics, proteomics, gene expression and drug discovery research. For gel documentation, the standard Alpha DigidocRT system will cover most laboratory needs, while the higher end FluorChem systems allow for a wide array of fluorescence and chemiluminescence applications and can be used in combination with Alpha Innotech’s ChemiGlow Reagent Kit. Easy to use software and data analysis packages make the recording and interpretation of your data a simple process.

BioBanking, Tissue Arrays and Virtual Pathology

Alphelys have designed software, systems and reagents specifically for BioBanking, Tissue Arraying and Virtual Pathology. Biobanking solutions include a fully annotated Biobank database, RCL2 non-toxic fixative as a replacement for Formalin and SnapFrost instrument for mechanically controlled, -80oC isopentane bath. The complete solution for Tissue Arraying offers fast and error free tissue array design and physical construction through to automated scanning, spot analysis and tissue array database. Virtual Pathology solutions include slide scanning and image database.

Superior Multispectral and Polarised Light Imaging Systems

CRi's patented imaging solutions reveal otherwise hidden signals and structures in biological samples. Detect, distinguish and quantitate signals with unsurpassed sensitivity and resolution. Make discoveries, accelerate drug development, and improve medical evaluation with superior imaging solutions that span histopathology, molecular biology, oncology and diagnostic imaging. CRi's patented multispectral imaging capabilities are available in two formats: The Nuance for subcellular, cellular and tissue detection; which can easily added onto existing brightfield and fluorescence microscopes with a simple c-mount connection. Or as the award-winning Maestro systems enable in vivo fluorescence imaging of whole small animals at unprecedented sensitivity. Maestro offers users a unique capability to remove autofluorescence from skin and other tissues in order to reveal otherwise hard-to-identify labeled targets. This dramatic improvement in signal-to-noise detection can increase sensitivity up to several hundred-fold, enabling much smaller or fainter signals from biological targets to be detected and accurately measured. The increased sensitivity over monochrome systems provided by Maestro's high-quality spectral imaging technology enable experiments and models which simply cannot be done with any other system.

Medical Electronic Systems (MES) is a leading edge company specializing in rapid, automated semen analysis for both the human and the veterinary markets.

High Resolution In Vivo Micro Imaging Systems

Offers the latest development in high-resolution in vivo ultrasound micro-imaging systems for small animal research. The VisualSonics Vevo770™ provides real-time visualization and quantifiable assessment of anatomical and haemodynamic function with resolution down to 30 microns. Because of the non-invasive nature of the technology, longitudinal studies allow the researcher to quantify disease progression and regression in individual subjects. This high-resolution imaging technology is being successfully applied to phenotypic-based research applications such as developmental biology, cardiovascular research, cancer biology, neurobiology, drug discovery, etc.
