Data acquisition

MolDevices-160x160.png Two Automated microscopes ImageXpress Confocal : We use Molecular Devices™ ImageXpress Micro C®, an automated spinning disc microscope, with 7 colors, 5 objectives (4X to 60X) and the latest sCMOS camera, with bright field, led or laser light source. We can performe fixed or live imaging in 2D or 3D mode. This microscope allows the user to acquire a large amount of high quality images. It can handle any type of culture plates, but the facility recommends a specific one which has been tested and fully set up on the instrument. It has a fast connection to our remote server to allow image transfer and storage on a secured support. After a short training on the acquisition software, any user should be rapidly independent. Originally dedicated to screening projects this tool has become now more widely used for every day experiment which involves several test conditions. Our microscopes are also equipped with water immersion objectives for the acquisition of very sharp images in a very fast mode. The microscopes are connected to our database, making the data available from anywhere through our 5 virtual machines. Booking
Plate reader.jpgFull mode plate reader Biotek: ACCESS Geneva is also equipped with a full mode plate reader Biotek™ Synergy™ H1, enclosed in a temperature controlled cabinet, and linked to a robotic arm for screening plate feeding. The reader is also equipped with two syringes for direct injection of reagent in the test plate. Booking
Data storage: ACCESS Geneva provides all aspects of data storage, archive, back-up and analysis resource for scientists. More details.
