Nov 2021: We are pleased to share the news of completion of installation and applications training on Microscale Thermophoresis (MST) system at Shiv Nadar University(SNU). This is a special moment for us as SNU is the first private university in India to select Microscale Thermophoresis for their binding affinity studies. Special thanks to Saji( NanoTemper Applications) and Sarika(Cornell) for sharing their tips and expertise with SNU researchers.
Feb 2020: We are pleased to share the news of completion of installation and applications training on the new Monolith system at International Centre for Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology( ICGEB-India Centre). ICGEB has selected Monolith for stuyding binding affinity of variety of samples(i.e. small molecules, protein-protein, protein-nucleic acid and drug interaction studies.....). Once again special thanks to Saji( NanoTemper Applications) and Sarika(Cornell) for sharing their tips and expertise with amazing researchers @ICGEB India.

June 2020: Glad to share a publication from CSIR-IGIB, India titled “ Poly(N ‐isopropylacrylamide)‐Based Polymers as Additive for Rapid Generation of Spheroid via Hanging Drop Method https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1002/mabi.202000180 The researchers used Luxeno MuVi Light Sheet Microscope to visualize the compact 3D structure of the spheroids. Spheroid generated in the presence of polymer P3 (100 ng μL−1) by initially seeding 10 000 cells was used for the study. Agarose (low gelling temperature) was used to embed the samples in the capillary tubes for visualization. Live and dead staining was done for the spheroids according to above reported protocol and the spheroids were visualized by using Light Sheet Microscope.
March 2020: The first Re-Scan Confocal(RCM) in India from Confocal.nl www.confocal.in was installed and successfully handed over this week
at the prestigious National Centre for Biological Centre (TIFR-NCBS)
Bangalore. The RCM is installed on a Nikon Inverted Ti2E Microscope with
Prof. Vardharajan Sudaramurthy's Lab. The research scholars are excited to
see great imrovement in their imaging experience with ease of controlling
RCM through NIS elements and high resolution images from their samples.

Aug 2019: Cornell Scientific Instruments Pvt. Ltd. is proud to announce the installation of Monolith NT.115 and Monolith NT. Label Free systems at Institute of Microbial Technology (CSIR-IMTECH) www.imtech.res.in Chandigarh. This is the first installation for a label free Microscale Thermophoresis system in India along with Monolith NT.115. The training for sample preparation and measurement was imparted to researchers by NanoTemper’s Application Scientist Saji Menon. Both the unique instruments based on Microscale Thermophoresis allows anyone in the lab to measure binding affinity in minutes. Each system is simple to use, has a small footprint and is completely maintenance free.
July 2019: Cornell Scientific Instruments Pvt. Ltd.,(www.cornellsci.com) INDIA , a company engaged in promotion of only unique and innovative next generation microscopy techniques in India is proud to announce the installation of first commercial light sheet microscope in India at CSIR-IGIB (Institute of Genomics & Integrative Biology) New Delhi.
The MuVi light sheet microscope facility was inaugurated by Dr. Anurag Agrawal Director CSIR-IGIB and Dr. Debojyoti Chakroborti. CSIR-IGIB New Delhi INDIA has selected MuVi SPIM from Luxendo ( an EMBL spin-off and now part of Bruker Corporation) which is a horizontal setup designed to image large volumes very fast. The unique 4-axis concept with its two-sided illumination allows four combinations of illumination and detection.
This provides four orthogonal views of the specimen without the need for sample rotation, avoiding shadowing effects and facilitating long-term imaging. Combined with the sample mounting from below, this allows maximized acquisition speed and high precision of data fusion while preserving stability and integrity of the sample.
The MuVi SPIM capacities can be further extended to enable imaging of optically cleared samples and performing photomanipulation experiments (e.g. ablation, bleaching). For this purpose, the MuVi SPIM CS (Cleared Sample) and the MuVi SPIM PM (Photomanipulation) have been conceived.
Typical applications of the microscope include in toto imaging of animal models such as Zebrafish embryos, Drosophila larvae, marine biology samples, plant and root development, large cleared tissue samples. Adding the photomanipulation unit provides further flexibility, enabling optical interaction with the samples.
