And it's not all: For an exceptional new product, an exceptional new casing!
We designed new boxes that we will gradually deploy to replace our old metal boxes. 4 designs will be randomly used for each product!

Today is the Day, CenSpark650 is available!
Time to get those centrioles and cilia shining under the 🔬objective!

📢On June 1st, we will be launching CenSpark650, the very first selective fluorescent probe for imaging centrioles and cilia in live cells.🔬
No transfection, zero genetic manipulation. Just Add & Image 1 hour later.

Overly proud that Katie Holden's image won Evident Microscopy's 6th Annual Image of the Year "Global Winner" award🏆
The image shows live iPSC-derived neurospheres. DNA (magenta) & MT (blue) were stained with our probes SiR-tubulin & SPY555-DNA probes

If you want to know more about IPSC-derived neurospheres, we strongly advise to read Katie Holden's research article which introduces this technology: doi.org/10.1016/j.bbi.2023.1…
Congrats Katie!

Mesmerizing light sheet imaging of neutrophils swarming at a yeast target!
The neutrophils were labeled with SPY650-DNA (yellow) and a calcium dye (blue).
This movie is part of the recent manuscript by
Evelyn Strickland that we highly recommend reading! biorxiv.org/content/10.64898…

CenSpark is a dual-ligand fluorescent probe simultaneously binding inner and outer microtubule sites – a configuration unique to doublet and triplet microtubules, enabling selective live imaging of centrioles and cilia across species

📢 Staining #Peroxisomes in live & fixed cells with Peroxi_SPY probes has never been so easy!
There is now a very detailed @JoVEJournal video that explains it all step by step.

An amazing example of actin imaging with our expansion microscopy probe for actin HAK-actin™
These are U-ExM expanded platelets stained with HAK-Actin (magenta bottom), (anti-integrin αIIb magenta top), and fibrin (fibrinogen-A488, green).
