Glass-Plastic Hybrid Cell Imaging Slide: Sony DADC and SCHOTT combined their talents.
What is so excited in this approach is the fact
that, two companies combines their technologies and expertise tocome up with new applications for traditional materials. Henceforth the results
are a novel glass-polymer cell detection slide for imaging of cells which aims
to guarantee superior performance such as flatness,
thin chamber design and lowest background fluorescence while being virtually
unbreakable.
The slide will be introduced to the public for the first time at the
Biotechnica
exhibition in Hannover from October 08th to 10th,
2013 and will be the basis for a range of products based on the hybrid design.
‘’We are certain this product will be embraced
by researchers and pathologists using confocal microscopy,” said Dr.
Christoph Mauracher, Senior Vice President of the BioSciences division of Sony
DADC.
