Intracellular analysis of protein transportation in fixed cells

The increasing need for scientific methods that allow large-scale functional studies of molecules in their natural environment is becoming more and more apparent. Automation, the handling and analysis of large sets of data all have to be considered. For this purpose Olympus have developed the scan^R Screening Station, on the basis of a custom built screening set-up that was the result of a close co-operation between Olympus and European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL)1. scan^R accommodates both the demand on throughput and reliability for functional cell-based assays and the flexibility for leading edge assay development.
