SEATTLE, Wash., December 12, 2005 - Applied Precision, LLC, a leading provider of imaging, measurement and analysis systems for both the semiconductor and life science industries, today announced it will feature the new mobile Cellular Imaging Lab for North America and its newly enhanced version of the DeltaVision� RT Restoration Imaging System, during the 45th Annual American Society for Cell Biology (ASCB) meeting December 10th-14th. ASCB attendees will also be able to review cellWoRx�, Applied Precision's automated, 4-color High Content Cell Analysis System, now coupled with Cellomics' vHCS� Analysis Toolbox to provide users with a turnkey solution, from advanced image acquisition to flexible image analysis. While furthering its momentum, Applied Precision continues to raise the bar in the development of industry-leading imaging solutions for its customers worldwide.
The new mobile Cellular Imaging Lab for North America
The company will be introducing its mobile Cellular Imaging Lab for North America, a completely mobile working lab that showcases Applied Precision's advanced imaging capabilities for life science imaging and research. Life science researchers attending the ASCB event at the Moscone Center in San Francisco are invited to visit Applied Precision's Booth #913 to discover superior live cell imaging capabilities, faster scanning times and improved sensitivities on a wide range of critical applications.
DeltaVision's Real-Time Restoration Imaging
A highly engineered and precise fluorescence imaging system, Applied Precision's DeltaVision RT provides researchers with a single, integrated system specifically engineered to meet their most difficult imaging demands. The newly integrated DeltaVision RT utilizes high sensitivity Electron Multiplying Charge-Coupled Device (EMCCD) technology, enabling ultra low light fluorescence imaging with superior quantum efficiency. Combined with the new high viability rapid shuttering, this not only increases acquisition speed but also greatly reduces the risk of phototoxicity during live cell imaging studies. Utilizing a Quantifiable Laser Module (QLM), the addition of a Total Internal Reflection Fluorescence (TIRF) illuminator enables an exceptional signal-to-noise ratio for enhanced cell-surface event visualization at multiple wavelengths, while an improved environmental chamber further enhances the system's industry-leading performance by sustaining cell viability for advanced live cell imaging research.
cellWoRx's Innovative Imaging Technology
cellWoRx provides researchers high resolution, contrast and signal-to-noise for optimal image quality. It increases image contrast and minimizes fluorescence background by employing oblique illumination technology in place of traditional epi-fluorescent illumination. The system also utilizes a white-light based CCD camera that delivers higher quantum efficiency than is possible with laser-based systems. Image quality is further improved through constrained-iterative deconvolution software that reassigns captured light back to its point of origin. The superior manufacturability of its fixed optical pathway enables cellWoRx customers an affordable HCS imaging and analysis solution.
Applied Precision is a leading provider of imaging, measurement and analysis systems for both the life sciences and semiconductor industries. Headquartered just outside of Seattle, Washington with sales and service centers in both Europe and Asia, Applied Precision has received multiple awards for its innovative new products. The company has also received recognition for its financial growth and is a four-time winner of the Deloitte & Touch� Washington State Technology Fast 50 award.
