High-throughput screening plate with integrated feed nutrients
TRANSLATIONAL RESEARCH AT MONASH
The Feed Plate product range from PS Biotech offers a novel solution for fed-batch feeding of microorganisms such as fungi, yeast and bacterial cultures in microlitre scale. Small-scale cultivation in Feed Plate with slow nutrient release provides a selection of suitable microorganism strains for a successful bioprocess scale-up. Nutrients such as glucose, fructose or maltose are included in each well of readyto-use cultivation plates and are slowly released through diffusion from a special polymer matrix which is immobilised at the bottom of a plate. Diffusion commences on addition of the cultivation media to the well, so no additional enzymes or additives are required. The product enables the generation of precise, process-near conclusions during high-throughput screening, resulting in an optimised scale-up process of bioproduction.

Desktop fluorescence and electron microscope system Phenom-World’s Delphi is a fully integrated and easy-to-use desktop fluorescence (correlative light) and electron microscope system. Fluorescence microscopy enables the user to screen large areas and pinpoint regions of interest to locate specific events, while electron microscopy provides detailed structural information with nanoscale resolution. These techniques are traditionally applied one after the other, which can be time-consuming and

Learn to drive innovative ideas to market so your research does not get lost in translation. #35 in the world for its Clinical, Preclinical and Health Sciences.*
lead to drawbacks such as the introduction of contamination or changes in sample morphology. Delphi overcomes these limitations by allowing the two techniques to be combined quickly to provide a more complete picture. Designed for fast, integrated imaging, the product provides simultaneous acquisition of fluorescence and electron microscopy images and seamless switching between the two techniques. Precision mechanics and the use of an automated alignment technique ensure precise, user-independent overlay, eliminating the need to spend time on correctly overlaying these images. The unit provides an opportunity to simultaneously image fluorescent markers together with the additional contrast and resolution made available by SEM. Typical applications include whole cells cultured on cover glass and thin sections of cells, tissue or other biological material like animal embryos. ATA Scientific Pty Ltd www.atascientific.com.au
