Custom array synthesizer enables you to manufacture commercial grade custom content microarrays to your exact specification with complete control over the content

MicroRNA’s - enable regulation of complex biological pathways, they have received significant attention with respect to their role in cancer, disease, and stem cell differentiation. We offer a wide range of miRNA Arrays, available for numerous species, validated from the current Sanger database, with speedy 30 day turnaround time. Antisense controls and every probe on the chip QC tested’’’’

Electrasense’s platform is an affordable, user friendly and reliable microarray reader that electrochemically measures thousands of probes in less than one minute

Confocal Fluorescent Scanners; High Resolution Rapid Scanners available in two resolution options and with the option of a slide loader for both instruments. Scanning at a pixel size from 1µm, the Innoscan 900 is one of the highest resolution scanners currently available. Real time auto focusing ensure optimum image quality

Software;
ImaGene 8.0, giving you the leading software tools to process and visualise your microarray data.

Nexus Copy Number software, powerful platform independent software to process and identify copy number changes from numerous arrays. Identifying (common) regions of significance within the data set, then relating biological information, and linking through to the web to allow scientists’ to quickly mine their data.

TISSUE PROCESSING

Tissue Homogenisation; The Precellys 24 offers a perfect bench top solution for biological sample preparation to extract nucleic acid (DNA, RNA) and protein.

Also available with a Cryolys upgrade to provide optimal chilled temperature controlled homogenization which can protect sensitive molecules from degradation and prevent enzymes from becoming active.

Polymerase Chain Reaction;

SmartCycler offers flexible real-time PCR, running different protocols in each of its 24 modules. The system offers faster cycling time, increased throughput without a requirement to batch samples. Robust and portable, it offers significantly reduced assay optimisation times.

SmartMix, the premium master mix in a solid bead format, contains all required regents for PCR in a stable, easy to use format, reducing the potential for pipetting errors

Company Profile
Vision Biomed, a division of Vision Engineering Ltd, is a privately owned company founded in 1958. Vision Engineering has become one of the world's most innovative and dynamic microscope manufacturers, employing more than 220 people worldwide.

Scientists and engineers worldwide use Vision's patented projection image and expanded-pupil microscopes for both life science and industrial applications. To date, more than 300,000 units have been shipped.

Patented optical technology

Vision Engineering holds world patents for techniques which expand the exit pupil of conventional binocular microscope systems. These techniques are employed in Vision's 'eyepieceless' and 'expanded-pupil' optical systems and offer users advanced ergonomics and reduced eyestrain leading to improved productivity and accuracy.

Research and development

In recent years, a substantial research and development programme has been Vision's key to success. New and existing products are continually being developed to meet the needs of science and manufacturing. Vision Engineering continues to lead the way in optical innovation and technology with new products and technology continually under development.
