The latest and most advanced high-speed camera has become operational at CBRC`s Comparative Genomics and Genetics Laboratory. The camera is connected to Nikon fluorescent inverted light microscope and is specifically designed for analysis of high-speed events on a microscopic scale. Dr. Rimantas Kodzius, a Research Scientist at CBRC, says: "The addition of the high-speed camera to our lab greatly improves our ability to perform experiments in microfluidics. Together with the integrated pulseless fluidic control, we can now analyze millions of cells encapsulated in droplets, thus allowing for screening of environmental samples at a very high throughput rate. Also, there are many other applications of this technology we are planning to pursue in the future".
This equipment is available to all interested researches at KAUST.
