Intro Seminar – Impetux SENSOCELL: Calibration-free Optical Trap

The Imaging and Optics Facility is expanding its equipment park with the addition of an Impetux SENSOCELL Optical Trap system.

The Impetux Sensocell makes use of a unique technology that enables mechanical measurements to be conducted without the need for calibration steps allowing for force probing assays under in-vivo conditions. The system will be integrated with a new Crest Optics X-Light V3 high-speed Spinning Disk microscope.

There will be two different events as to introduce the system:

1) Nov 25, 2024:  Introduction Seminar about the general aspects of the Optical tweezers Technology – open to all, mandatory for selected trainees – link to event

2) Dec 19, 2024: Hybrid demonstration, showcasing real applications on the new setup (after its installation) – open to all, but also part of the training of the selected trainees – link to event
