Scientific capabilities

Access specialist instrumentation across imaging, cell analysis, protein quantification, qPCR and plate-based detection, supported by practical training and instrument-specific certification.

Imaging and microscopy

Look at cells, tissues and structures, from routine culture checks to multi-channel confocal fluorescence. Export images in formats ready for analysis.

Typical applications

  • Confocal and widefield fluorescence
  • Live-cell and fixed-sample imaging
  • Culture monitoring and documentation
  • Multi-channel colocalization
  • Morphology and phenotype

Instruments

Flow cytometry and cell analysis

Characterize cell populations cell by cell: counts and viability on the Guava, high-parameter spectral immunophenotyping on the Northern Lights.

Typical applications

  • High-parameter immunophenotyping
  • Cell counting and viability
  • Apoptosis and cell cycle
  • Multicolor panel development
  • FCS export for analysis

Instruments

Protein immunoassays

Quantify proteins and biomarkers with automated, low-volume immunoassays. Ella runs the assay steps itself, so there is less hands-on time.

Typical applications

  • Cytokine and biomarker quantification
  • Low sample volumes
  • Automated multiplex panels
  • Batch and longitudinal comparisons

Instruments

qPCR

Measure nucleic acids by real-time PCR for gene expression and genotyping, in standard or fast cycling.

Typical applications

  • Gene-expression profiling
  • Genotyping and SNP detection
  • Copy-number variation
  • Target detection assays

Instruments

Plate-based detection

Run luminescence, fluorescence and absorbance assays in microplates, for cell-based and biochemical work.

Typical applications

  • Luminescence and reporter assays
  • Viability and cytotoxicity screens
  • Fluorescence intensity and FRET
  • UV-visible absorbance

Instruments

What comes with access

Instrument time is only useful when it is properly supported.

Practical training

Instrument-specific training by Mach-Bio: setup, acquisition and correct data export.

Certification

Per user and per instrument. It confirms you are ready for independent use.

Scientific expertise

Help with experimental approach, panel or imaging setup, and data handling.

Assisted and supervised use

Where independent use is not appropriate, we arrange assisted or supervised sessions.
