FLIM LABS introduces its first “Solid FLIM Calibration Standard”
Did you know that precision in FLIM has never been this simple?
FLIM LABS continues its mission to democratise FLIM technology by introducing the FLIM-Phasors Calibration Kit, its first solid calibration standard.
The innovative FLIM LABS kit includes a monoexponential decay reference sample (2.5 ns) and a Convallaria majalis biological sample.
Together, they facilitate instrument validation, improve measurement accuracy, and free researchers from technical complexity.
This is just the beginning of a continuously expanding ecosystem designed to support the global scientific community.
FLIM has been democratised
Market innovators still exist today, even in scientific applications, driving the widespread adoption of Fluorescence Lifetime Analysis and FLIM around the world, starting from Italy – this is the story of FLIM Labs.
Unlocking new features on Bruker ULTIMA with FLIM LABS
👩🔬👨🔬👩🔬Have you ever wondered how to upgrade a Bruker Ultima to unlock its full potential with FLIM?
Read our last article to know how the FLIM LABS upgrade kit can seamlessly transform a Bruker two-photon microscope into a powerful Fluorescence Lifetime Imaging Microscopy (FLIM) platform.
The kit’s components are designed for a straightforward, USB-powered integration that works in parallel with the original Bruker system. This dual-operation design ensures researchers can acquire fluorescence lifetimes and perform advanced phasor analysis without disrupting the microscope’s standard functionality.
By capturing fluorescence decay instead of just intensity, the upgraded system provides a robust, concentration-independent readout. This capability is crucial for applications like label-free metabolic imaging, which uses NADH fluorescence lifetimes to differentiate between cellular processes like oxidative phosphorylation and glycolysis.
Ultimately, this upgrade combines 2-photon microscopy and FLIM to create a powerful, flexible tool that significantly expands the scope of existing research.
