NemaMetrix has launched its first series of RediStain fluorescent kits for improved visualisation of C. elegans’ structure and function in phenotyping studies.
These kits expand the toolkit of C. elegans research to include the ability to perform structural and functional assays that are standard in cell biology.
Used with the company’s ScreenChip System, the new staining kits provide a more efficient way to study nematode phenotypes and their directly-related underlying genotypes, which would not be possible with non-fluorescent techniques.
Matt Beaudet, CEO of NemaMetrix, said: “The introduction of fluorescent staining kits to our ScreenChip System will make previously invisible phenotypes easy to visualise, allowing scientists to generate more and better quality data on neuronal and physiological responses to a wide range of genetic and environmental changes.”
