Cell Motion BioBus, a not-for-profit organization with a mission to bring hands-on science education, in an authentic research lab setting, to schools nationwide, has accepted a donation of equipment from Bulldog Bio.  Among the laboratory equipment provided is the LumaScope Inverted Fluorescence Microscope – specifically designed by Etaluma as an affordable alternative for teaching labs.

Sarah Weisberg, a BioBus staff scientist, said in reference to the portability of the LumaScope system “We are very excited by the opportunity to offer our students access to a fluorescence microscope” and in reference to the 40x model “we are envisioning using this microscope primarily to study organelles inside of fixed cells”.

The Cell Motion BioBus is a carbon-neutral science laboratory on wheels. Powered by solar panels, a wind turbine, and a biofuel engine, the BioBus brings science to over 20,000 students per year and helps them explore the world around them in an inquiry-based, hands-on setting filled with state-of-the-art science equipment and supervised by Ph.D. level scientists. Specifically, the BioBus focuses its efforts on schools that lack quality laboratory facilities and where students are unlikely to ever have met a scientist. To learn more, visit www.biobus.org

Etaluma, Inc. has partnered with Bulldog Bio to market, sell and support their novel suite of microscope systems. Their first model, the LumaScope 500, is an inverted fluorescence microscope that offers portability, environmental stability and affordability. This multi-year contract allows Bulldog Bio to be the face for this new product line in the USA.

“We are lucky to have garnered the LumaScope because of its nice complementation with our existing line of cell analysis instruments and reagents. This system has been tested in the jungles of Central America and is ideally suited for use directly in cell culture incubators. This will allow researchers the ability to automatically image cells as they grow or migrate in an unperturbed state –without the need of special flasks or plates. And at under $6,000, it should be attractive to many researchers during this period of funding contraction.” concludes Ella Fontaine, Vice President of Communications.

Nepa Gene CO., LTD.,  an innovator of electropration devices and Bulldog Bio Inc., a specialty Life Science distributor, have signed an agreement to establish Bulldog Bio as the sole distributor of the new NEPA21 Electro-kinetic Transfection System to laboratories in the US and Canada.  Capable of using off-the-shelf electroporation cuvettes, this device can boost efficiency and reduce cytotoxicity for in vitro transfection experiments – and without the need for expensive proprietary buffers.  Also, with over 100 electrode options for in vivo, ex vivo, in ovo and in situ applications, transfection of living tissues is possible.

“This patented, one-of-a-kind system has transformed what an electroporator is capable of doing. It creates complex and dynamic electrical fields in a wide variety of matrices, and has opened the vistas for electro-mediated transfection.  And though we have had to wait almost 6 months while the infrastructure in Japan recovered from the natural disasters earlier this year, component suppliers are back online and the NEPA21 is now being produced on a predictable schedule.” Ella Fontaine, Vice President of Communications, elaborates “We are quite excited as this technology is already proven and has been used by researchers in Japan for a wide variety of non-in vitro application, from highly localized transfections in brain tissue, to general transfection of embryos, the possibilities are quite vast.”

Nepa Gene CO., LTD. is a private company based in the prefecture of Chiba, Japan, and a producer and supplier of electroporation, electro-cell fusion and sonoporation equipment.  With more than 30 years experience, Nepa Gene has become a leader in designing, implementing and supporting high quality instruments for the life science industry.
