✨ abberior dyes on the Yokogawa CQ3000!

The fixed-cell IF image shows:
🟠 Nuclear pores (STAR RED)
🔵 Golgi (STAR ORANGE)
⚪ Actin (STAR GREEN)

The CQ3000 delivers fast, precise 3D imaging & analysis -perfectly matched with the brightness + stability of our dyes.

A plasmid is available from Addgene (www.addgene.org/104586/) to create the protein which can then be conjugated with a SNAP-ligand of choice (see link.abberior.rocks/xgtw9).

Addgene: pYZ205

Plasmid pYZ205 from Dr. Yinhua Zhang's lab contains the insert SNAP-6His-CBD and is published in Unpublished This plasmid is available through Addgene.

Happy to help: we used CBP (Chitin Binding Probe). It is a chitin-binding protein combined with a SNAP-tag to conjugate with a fluorescent label.

We asked our customers for their experience with our microscopes.
The result: almost 100% would recommend abberior! 🤩
Top reasons: system performance & service. 💪

We also received suggestions how to do even better, and we are already working on turn these ideas into reality. Stay tuned!

Our #MIRAVAPOLYSCOPE will show its many talents at the light microscopy workshop in Prague, CZ, on October 14-15:
• 2D/3D #STED
• RAYSHAPE aberration correction
• TIMEBOW lifetime imaging
• MATRIX array detection
Join the hands-on sessions and see what MIRAVA can do for your resarch!
