The NanoTracker from JPK Instruments operates with laser tweezers and can trap, track and detect nanoparticles solely with light. This allows researchers to examine at the nanoscale level how viruses and bacteria enter a cell. On this basis, researchers can develop drugs that prevent alien elements from entering cells or promote drug delivery into cells. The instrument enables 3-D and non-destructive real-time observations at superior resolution. NanoTracker technology provides precisely quantifiable and reproducible measurements of particle/cell interactions. The system delivers precise information about single molecule mechanics and can be used to determine mechanical characteristics such as adhesion, elasticity or stiffness on single molecules.
Virtualization of the LabWith advanced computing and algorithmic technologies, modeling and simulation techniques are becoming more accepted and the results more reliable across a wide range of disciplines....continue
