High Throughput Microscopy
The platform is equipped with a PerkinElmer® Operetta CLS, which allows for microscopy screening experiments as well as automated acquisition and analysis.
The microscope has an epifluorescence or confocal mode and can be used with live cells as it is equipped with a CO2-37°C incubation chamber.
It is open to external users.
Contact the platform for more information.

New review: X chromosome regulation and female functional specificities: Are two Xs better than one?
What if the presence of two X chromosomes confers functional specificities on female cells and contributes to the different susceptibilites of men and women to certain diseases? One of the X chromosomes is randomly silenced in each female cell from the embryonic...
