2 Contract Details

2.1

Title

Fluorescent Plate Reader

2.2

Description of the goods or services required

The Diabetes Research Group has recently been awarded a translational grant to study mouse and human immune cells in culture in real-time using fluorescent reporters in response to different therapeutic interventions. At present there is no real-time fluorescent plate reader within the group and thus samples are studied at specific times post-stimulation and thus key cellular changes may be missed. Thus, we are seeking a real-time fluorescent plate reader that can be placed within a 37C incubator.
