FLUORESCENCE IMAGING: WHAT IS IT?

The English physicist George Gabriel Stokes coined the term fluorescence in 1852. He observed blue light emitted by fluorite crystals (calcium fluoride) illuminated by ultraviolet light. Even if the emission was related to impurities in the crystals, the term ‘fluorite’ inspired Stokes to name this phenomenon.   The biological and biomedical sciences use fluorescence physical…

WHOLE SLIDE IMAGING – FROM THE MICROSCOPE GLASS SLIDE TO THE DIGITAL IMAGES

Digital pathology (DP), also known as virtual microscopy or whole slide imaging (WSI), is an alternative to conventional microscopy. Beyond enabling a fully digital workflow for anatomical pathology departments, this technology consists of digitizing a glass slide to produce a digital image.  This technology therefore meets the needs of microscope users who seek to visualize…

2020 NATIONAL GLYCOBIOLOGY CONFERENCE OF CHINA

InnoScan Fluorescence Microarray Scanners will be presented at the 2020 National Glycobiology Conference of China. Indeed, the biological importance of glycans in several cell functions range from cell-matrix interactions to organ structure support and from pathogen-host interaction to organism immune regulation. Glycan arrays are becoming a standard tool in glycobiology, to screen glycan interactions with…

ANTIMICROBIAL RESISTANCE AND NOVEL DRUGS DISCOVERY

Glycan arrays are efficient tools leading to the discovery of therapeutic strategies. InnoScan analyses of glycan arrays enable to identify specific glycan interactions. With the development of antibiotic resistance, infections are harder to treat. According to the WHO, antimicrobial resistance is one of the current global health threat. Therefore, it is urgent to find novel…

PEPTIDE ARRAYS, A POWERFUL TOOL FOR SEROLOGICAL TEST

Several diseases are difficult to diagnose when there is a poor number of specific clinical markers or physical symptoms. This is the case of the actual Covid19 pandemic. According to the Pasteur Institute, 30 to 60% of infected people show an asymptomatic form of the disease, specifically for young people. To deal with virus transmission,…

PEPTIDE ARRAYS AND SYNTHETIC VACCINE

Peptide arrays technology is an ideal tool to identify epitopes and develop synthetic vaccine. Vaccination, one of the main work of Jenner in the 18th century, aims to stimulate immune responses against pathogens and microbes. This is the most effective method for protecting individuals from infections. Persistent vaccination has eradicated some diseases as smallpox .…
