Tissue Clearing & Labeling

SmartBatch+

This turn-key system combines electrophoretic tissue clearing and immunolabeling into one high-throughput device. Leverage the Clear+ tissue clearing method, along with eFLASH and patented stochastic electrotransport technologies, to rapidly clear and label whole organs. Key highlights and features include:

Batch processing of up to 12 whole mouse brains, 4 whole rat brains, or comparably sized samples
Uniform labeling with no surface saturation of antibodies or dyes, and minimal antibody usage
No immunolabeling necessary for endogenous fluorescence (no fluorescent protein quenching)
1-day active tissue clearing, 2-day active immunolabeling (primary & secondary)

SmartClear II Pro

This legacy active tissue clearing system employs patented stochastic electrotransport technology to rapidly and uniformly remove light-scattering membrane lipids. SmartClear uses the Clear+ tissue clearing method and prevents sample deformation and precipitate formation.

SmartLabel

This legacy active immunolabeling system achieves uniform whole-organ antibody labeling by combining our patented stochastic electrotransport method with SWITCH. Compared to passive labeling techniques such as iDISCO and CUBIC, SmartLabel provides superior penetration and uniformity of probes in just 1-2 days.

Light Sheet Microscopy

SmartSPIM

The SmartSPIM light sheet microscope provides unparalleled resolution and acquisition speed throughout intact tissue volumes, while its modular design allows you to upgrade and customize individual components.
Key highlights and features include:

Patented axial sweeping technology, which generates homogenous PSFz across field of view
Rapid volumetric acquisition (intact mouse brain hemisphere in <30 minutes)
Large imaging chamber and dual illumination, optimized for large (up to 40mm x 75mm) or multi-sample acquisition – easily image organoids, rat brains, entire juvenile mice, & everything in between
Focus compensation and tunable imaging parameters
Intuitive acquisition software with real-time tile correction
Objectives available for 1.63X through 22X magnification
