Fully Enclosed Incubation Chamber Launched at Neuroscience 2006

Solent Scientific, a leading supplier of microscope incubation chambers, has announced the launch at Neuroscience 2006 in Atlanta of a new fully enclosed incubation system for the latest PerkinElmer UltraVIEW? spinning disk Confocal Microscope. The new system can incorporate all leading research microscope frames - the Leica DMI 6000, Nikon TE2000, Olympus IX2 and the Zeiss Axiovert 200.

Neuroscience researchers will be able to perform Fluorescence observations, including FRAP, of live cells using the UltraVIEW? PhotoKinesis? accessory in conjunction with the Solent Scientific chamber.

Orry Dugdale, CEO of Solent Scientific, is delighted with this latest product with PerkinElmer: "We have already supplied significant numbers of chambers for the rest of the UltraVIEW? range. One of the key advantages has turned out to be our fully enclosed design which maintains temperature above and below the specimen. We expect considerable interest from neuroscientists."

All Solent Scientific fully enclosed microscope incubation chambers are custom manufactured to ISO standards from high quality impact-resistant acrylic and are easy to clean and maintain.
