The Cellular Imaging Platform (PIC) is accessible to the academic and private scientific communities (see academic/private sector prices).
The platform is designed to image live or fixed cells, tissues, and organoids. It offers different supports (slide, Petri dish and plates of 6, 12, 26, 96, 384 wells) as well as different functions (epi-fluorescence, confocal, bright-field and cross-polarization).
Scientific assistance is offered for the set-up and/or execution of the projects, whether it is related to the sample and data acquisition strategies, or related to the analysis and quantification of the fluorescence images.
The equipment can be used autonomously or with assistance.
Theoretical and practical training is provided on a regular basis so the equipment can be used autonomously. However, staff assistance is always available. The platform also offers training courses adapted to the specific needs of academic and private users, providing a certificate that can be used to obtain funding from training organizations.
The platform is equipped with the Columbus software, which allows the analysis and quantification of both small and large volumes of data.
