Tools
The ENU area has high quality equipment for structural and functional analysis of biological mechanisms of medical relevance. The GLP-ready laboratories are organized in such a way that they can quickly access the necessary certifications for the development process of products for human use.
The diagnostic imaging laboratory has pre-clinical in vivo imaging instrumentation:
- a TAC system (Bruker)
- fluorescence imaging (FMT-Perkin Elmer)
- MRI.
The group has access to radiochemistry laboratories and equipment for in vivo molecular imaging, in vivo behavioral studies and histological evaluations equipped with the following instrumentation:
- Low Voltage Electron Microscope, delong LVEM25 (LVEM-TEM)
- Noldus catwalk XT system XT
- Holographic microscope CX-A (Nanolive)
- SIMOA ultra-sensitive ELISA digital system, Quanterix SR-X
- Autostainer 360-S2D AHSI
- Scanning system, Axioscan 7 Zeiss
