Bionas has launched its Adcon reader for impedance-based, cellular analysis for applications in toxicology, oncology, receptor signalling and cell-quality management.
Bionas' Adcon reader technology is based on real-time monitoring of cellular impedance and so gives real-time data about cell adhesion, membrane integrity, cellular morphology and cell proliferation.
Bionas technology allows for the analysis of cellular behaviour without the use of dyes or antibodies, which avoids the result being influenced by the manipulation of the cells during the assay.
The Bionas Adcon reader consists of the Bionas plate station, the Bionas analyser and a control unit (PC), and offers easy handling in 96-well format for laboratory research and HTS applications.
Bionas is also due to launch its 15002 RtU-Transporter system, an advancement of the existing two-channel Bionas 15002 analysing system, which is especially adapted for the analysis of membrane-transport mechanisms and their role in multi-drug resistances.
It is said to be the first automatic, label-free test system in the area of membrane transporter research, measuring impedance, O2 consumption and acidification.
The Bionas Adcon reader and 15002 RtU-Transporter systems are said to compliment the Bionas 2500 analysing system for real-time monitoring of impedance (adhesion), acidification and O2 consumption.
The Bionas 2500 is said to be the only analysing system that generates real-time data of three parameters in parallel.
