Molecolar and Biology – Neuroscience

New Techniques in Neuroscience

Since its origins, the field of Neuroscience has seen a shift from its initial focus, primarily focused on studying the nervous system, to later including other forms of analysis, such as the study of molecular, cellular, functional, and structural aspects of the nervous system.

This evolution has been enabled by the introduction of new techniques within Neuroscience, allowing scientists and researchers to approach many aspects in novel ways, even extending to studying the interconnections between this branch of science and medicine.

Bertin Technologies

The Precellys Biological Sample Homogenizer, is the flagship instrument for quickly obtaining a homogenized sample or cell lysate before extraction and analysis, the bead beating technology ensures high efficiency without deteriorating the sample. The InCells Inverted Fluorescence Microscope for image analysis of cells by fluorescence allows high sensitivity and thanks to Apps, the user is guided in its particular application.

Antec Scientific

Antec has over thirty years of experience in manufacturing Electrochemical Detectors based on Direct Amperometry, Pulsed Amperometry, for applications in the biological field for neurotransmitter dosing.
Pulsed Amperometry is applied in the assay of sugars or drugs, such as macrolides, antibiotics and their metabolites as reported in many Pharmacopoeia methods. It can be interfaced with all HPLC/UHPLC systems on the market.

Integra Biosciences

A leading manufacturer in the field of liquid handling, it offers a wide range of electronic instruments and pipettes dedicated to this specific activity, including state-of-the-art robots for the automation and of some of the main pipetting tasks performed daily in the laboratory, such as serial dilutions or reformatting of plates.

Harvard Apparatus

A leading manufacturer of laboratory instruments such as Syringe Pumps, Peristaltic Pumps and Precision Pumps.

CMA Micro-Dialysys

Microdialysis is a sampling technique that involves placing a small catheter equipped with a semipermeable tissue membrane and sampling metabolites (and/or other molecules) from the extracellular space to highlight changes in tissue metabolism.
CMA manufactures probes of various sizes with different membrane types depending on the tissue to be explored and all the accessories to be able to perform a microdialysis experiment.
