Merscope News!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

MERSCOPE has recently reduced the size of its reagent packages<\/strong>, making the platform more accessible and flexible for researchers. These smaller formats lower the entry barrier and make pilot studies or smaller projects easier to run.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, new 815 gene panels are now available, including Mouse PanNeuro, Pan Mouse, Human Brain, Human Immuno Oncology, and Human Breast Cancer<\/strong> options, offered in both small and large run formats<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MERSCOPE now provides full support for both mouse and human tissues beyond brain applications, expanding its use across many research areas. A key advantage of MERFISH technology is its flexibility, allowing spatial transcriptomics studies not only in standard models but also in non canonical species such as plants, zebrafish, and axolotl.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please let us know if you would like to discuss potential projects or explore the platform.<\/p>\n<\/div>

Enhancing Our Cell Sorting Capabilities: Introducing the MACSQuant\u00ae Tyto<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are thrilled to introduce the MACSQuant\u00ae Tyto, an innovative cell sorter that redefines safety, precision, and cell viability. Unlike traditional sorters, the Tyto features a closed, sterile cartridge system, eliminating contamination risks while enabling high-purity, gentle sorting. This next-generation technology enhances our ability to work with delicate and sensitive cell populations, supporting research at BSL-1, BSL-2, and BSL-3 levels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With this cutting-edge addition, we are expanding our capabilities to provide more reliable and efficient cell sorting solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Exciting Update: Branching Lung Organoids Now Available at SCOF!<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are thrilled to announce that the Stem Cells and Organoids Facility (SCOF)<\/strong> has successfully established the protocol for Branching Lung Organoids<\/strong>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These cutting-edge organoids, derived from human pluripotent stem cells, offer a powerful tool for studying lung development, disease modeling, and therapeutic research.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Starting today, this service is available to all researchers and collaborators interested in incorporating Branching Lung Organoids into their projects. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Feel free to reach out to us for more details or to discuss how we can support your project needs. We\u2019re excited to work with you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

More information soon in the catalog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
