JPK has announced a Petri dish heater solution for live cell imaging using the NanoWizard BioAFM and the CellHesion product lines.
Using mechanical adapters and an intelligent drift-compensated design, JPK has developed a dimensionally stable thermal capability for AFM using plastic components.
Both plastic and glass-bottomed 35mm diameter Petri dishes can be used.
The heater system is compatible with JPK's range of NanoWizard AFM and CellHesion systems.
All the standard imaging and measurement techniques may be applied at temperatures up to 60C with 0.1C precision.
These include fluorescence, transmission illumination, AFM imaging and cell mechanics study.
The system also offers perfusion control employing standard syringe pumps and gas flow of carbon dioxide possible for long-term cell studies.
