APPLICATION BRIEFS: A revolutionary imaging and analytical instrument serving medical research and drug discovery
NanoSIMS enables quantitative, multi-element imaging of biological samples at subcellular resolution.
Do you need to measure metabolic activity and cellular exchanges with sub-cellular resolution?
The CAMECA NanoSIMS 50L is a unique imaging Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometer capable of tracking molecules and quantifying biological processes at sub-cellular level. It has been successfully applied to numerous life science research projects: molecular mechanisms of lipid transport, action mechanisms of pharmaceutical compounds, investigation of the toxicology of nanomaterials... and contributed to a wealth of milestone publications in prestigious journals.
Read this brief booklet to discover a selection of recent studies supported by NanoSIMS, and to learn more the advantages of the instrument, such as is capability to simultaneously deliver
- 2D & 3D imaging of molecular incorporation with 50 nm resolution;
- Mapping of stable isotopes and/or trace elements tagged molecules;
- Up to 7 isotopes or masses recorded in parallel at high mass resolution.
