Bioscope Catalyst Atomic Force Microscope

The Bioscope Catalyst can perform four types of studies: (1) High-resolution, molecular-scale imaging of biological samples such as lipid bilayers and membranes, DNA-plasmid and other biomolecules, and biopolymer structures. (2) Live cell imaging for studying structure and function relationships, and cell response to environmental stimuli. (3) Force and mechanical studies of cells such as cell membrane elasticity, mapping ligand-receptor interactions, and single-molecule force spectroscopy. (4) Nanomanipulation of biomolecules. This equipment can image biological samples in both wet and dry states and at both lower and higher temperature.
