UNLP’s Faculty of Exact Sciences indicated through its networks that the Ministry of Science and Technology, within the framework of the federal program “Equipar Ciencia”, awarded the university two pieces of highly sophisticated equipment; Among them is a high-end confocal microscope valued at half a million dollars.
In this sense, they explained: “The device is a multifunctional system with the ability to perform incubations in a room with controlled temperature and atmosphere, to perform dynamic in vivo image acquisition studies on cells in culture or at the end of the whole organism in vivo.” model with appropriate characteristics (invertebrates, amphibians)”.
They also added: “It has the ability to acquire images in the form of confocal microscopy, the ability to perform fluorescence analysis in 4 colors and with up to 6 different objectives. On the other hand, it has the ability to read spectrophotometers, fluorometers and spectrophotometers, for Coverage of established chemical kinetic applications with any of these possibilities.”
They commented that the required equipment comes with an accessory to automate plate handling, in order to be able to perform tasks simultaneously on up to 10 culture plates of various shapes; This makes it able to perform biological effects screening tasks with high load capacity and automation.
