High Throughput Screening & Sorting of Viable  D. rerio

Image of a mixed population of D. rerio embryos.

 Historically, researchers have been limited in the size and type of experiments involving zebrafish (D. rerio) because of time-consuming manual sorting and screening steps. Union Biometrica, Inc. has recently introduced a new, high-speed flow system that analyzes, sorts, and dispenses zebrafish based on size, optical density, or presence of fluorescent markers, which will be demonstrated at the upcoming 5th International Conference on Zebrafish Development & Genetics.

As a first step demonstration of these capabilities, over 3,000 live zebrafish embryos were detected and sorted by the COPAS XL with >99% accuracy from mixed populations (data shown left) in under two hours. This type of sort is useful prior to such applications as compound or genetic screening. Read more: http://www.unionbiometrica.com/app_notes/app_drerio.html

Please contact us today to schedule a personal live demonstration of this instrument at the International Conference on Zebrafish Development & Genetics held June 12 - 16, 2002. ~Unable to attend the show? Simply email us at sales@unionbio.com or call 617.591.1211 for more information.
