Introduction - Calcium and Ion Imaging
Agilent offers advanced equipment used for a variety of different applications studying dynamic
processes in living cells such as:
- measurement of rapidly changing intracellular ion concentrations (Ca2+,
Na+ and other ions) e.g. in neurons
- study of signal transduction processes in response to e.g. growth factors or cytokines
- study of calcium sensitive processes
- simultaneous imaging of different target molecules within one sample using multiple
staining with different dyes or probes
- metabolic transport
- cell-cell interactions
- chemotaxis and motility
The documentation and quantification of such dynamic phenomena creates substantial demands
for the temporal resolution and data processing, for which Agilent provides ideal equipment.
All Agilent products have been developed in close cooperation with scientists working in
different fields of live cell imaging.
