66th Biophysical Society Annual Meeting

February 19-23, 2022 | Sant Francisco, California, USA

 

We are looking forward to participating in the Biophysical Society’s 66th Annual Meeting in San Francisco .

→You can find us at Axiom Optics booth  #502 (our USA distributor booth)

 

Join our presentation to discover how SENSOCELL platform and its exclusive technology provide a flexible, easy and speedy manner to perform  state-of-the-art experiments in Mechanobiology.

SAVE THE DATE !

SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 20

10:30 AM – 12:00 PM

ESPLANADE, ROOM 158

 

Join Impetux CEO, Oriol Nos Aguilà, for a presentation on the SENSOCELL: Optical Tweezers integrating direct force spectroscopy & correlated fluorescence imaging for extra- and intracellular mechanobiology. The talk will introduce the key distinctive features of the technology and show examples and results obtained by customers & scientific collaborators for applications in living cells.

Meet us and discover how to take further your research !

You can download the summary of the talk here.

Time dependence of trap position (top), force signal (middle) and Ca2+ fluorescence signal (bottom) recorded during a membrane tether pulling experiment. The force and Ca2+ ion channel activity signals exhibit negative correlation.

Fig. 2

Force and displacement data for two beads stimulated at frequencies of 4 Hz and 0.25 Hz. The progressive reduction of the beads displacement is in concomitancy with an increase of the applied force and loading rate.
