Publication number: 20230280581Abstract: The present invention relates in general to microscopy systems. In particular, the present invention relates to microscopes rendering digital images of samples, with the capability to digitally control the focus of the microscope system, and the software used to control the operation of the digital microscope system. Further, the present invention relates to a microscope structure that allows for compact and multi-functional use of a microscope, providing for light shielding and control with samples that require specific light wavelength characteristics, such as fluorescence, for detection and imaging. The microscope is adjustable, with a structure that can move along range(s) of motion and degree(s) of freedom to allow for ease of access to samples, shielding of samples, and manipulation of a display apparatus.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 13, 2023Publication date: September 7, 2023Inventors: Frank HSIUNG, Kelly KROEGER, Robert ARCHER, Veronika KORTISOVA, Teresa RUBIO, Amber IRAETA

Publication number: 20090081750Abstract: Biological cells and other membranous structures are transfected in a flow-through system by first rendering the structures magnetically active such that they respond to a magnetic field, suspending the structures in a solution of an exogenous species with which the structures are to be transfected, then placing the suspension in a channel and using a moving magnetization pattern along the channel wall to cause the structures to travel through the channel. Along their path of travel, the structures pass a transmitter that emits transfection energy sufficient to cause the exogenous species in the suspension to permeate the structure membranes and enter the interiors of the structures.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 31, 2008Publication date: March 26, 2009Applicant: BIO-RAD LABORATORIES, INC.Inventors: Charles W. Ragsdale, Teresa Rubio

Publication number: 20080268542Abstract: Electroporation of mammalian cells is performed to high efficiency by use of a buffer solution containing trehalose, sucrose, or both, in addition to an inorganic phosphate buffer, an organic sulfonic acid buffer, a halide salt of an alkali or alkaline earth metal, a chelating agent, an alkyl methyl sulfoxide, and a nucleotide triphosphate, with substantially no sodium. This buffer solution is effective both in the electroporation of cells that are suspended in the buffer solution and in the electroporation of cells that are fixed on a surface.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 30, 2007Publication date: October 30, 2008Applicant: Bio-Rad Laboratories, Inc.Inventors: Teresa Rubio, Joseph Terefe
