Applying novel transepithelial electrical resistance (TEER) and impedance spectroscopy techniques for drug discovery and development.
Our Portfolio Strategy
We offer a wide range of products that cater to the needs of researchers, scientists, and professionals in various fields, including neuroscience, physiology, pharmacology, and cell biology. Our main technology areas of focus are:
- Electrophysiology
- Microfluidics
- Surgical Instruments
- Tissue and Cell Culture
- Microscopy and Imaging
Electrophysiology
We specialize in electrophysiology equipment, which involves the measurement and analysis of electrical activity in biological systems from whole animals to cells.
MICROFLUIDICS
We offer a range of microinjection systems and tools for precise delivery of substances into cells or tissues. These technologies include microinjectors, micromanipulators, and microinjection needles.
SURGICAL INSTRUMENTS
With a comprehensive range of surgical instruments for various research applications, we provide microsurgical instruments including scissors, forceps, needle holders, retractors, and microsurgical blades.
TISSUE & CELL CULTURE
We offer a variety of products for tissue and cell culture, including culture chambers, incubators, and cell culture dishes for growing and maintaining cells and tissues in a controlled environment.
MICROSCOPY & IMAGING
We provide microscopy and imaging solutions for researchers to visualize and analyze biological samples, including fluorescence microscopes, confocal microscopes, imaging software, and imaging accessories.
Electrophysiology
We specialize in electrophysiology equipment, which involves the measurement and analysis of electrical activity in biological systems from whole animals to cells. Our products include patch clamp amplifiers, microelectrode amplifiers, voltage and current clamps, and electrode holders. These tools enable researchers to study the electrical properties of cells, tissues, and organs, providing insights into neuronal signaling, ion channel function, and synaptic transmission. Our EVOM family of products enables researchers to study transepithelial electrical resistance (TEER) to assess the integrity and barrier function of epithelial cell layers, such as those found in the gastrointestinal tract, lung, and blood-brain barrier. TEER measurements provide valuable information about the tightness and permeability of these barriers, which is important for evaluating drug absorption, drug delivery systems, and drug interactions with epithelial tissues.
Microfluidics
We offer a range of microinjection systems and tools for precise delivery of substances into cells or tissues. These technologies include microinjectors, micromanipulators, and microinjection needles. Microinjection is widely used in applications such as gene editing, drug delivery, and cell manipulation, allowing researchers to introduce specific molecules or substances into targeted cells or tissues. We offer a variety of pumps including syringe pumps, pressure pumps and peristaltic pumps. Our microfluidic systems also support emerging technologies such as organ on chip, drug encapsulation, and point of care diagnostics.
Surgical Instruments
We offer microsurgical scissors, forceps, needle holders, retractors, and microsurgical blades. These tools are designed for delicate and precise surgical procedures in neuroscience, physiology, and other fields, enabling researchers to perform intricate surgeries on small animal models or in vitro preparations. We also provide surgical tool kits and custom bundling solutions.
Tissue & Cell Culture
We offer a variety of products for tissue and cell culture, including culture chambers, incubators, and cell culture dishes. These tools provide researchers with the necessary equipment and consumables to grow and maintain cells and tissues in a controlled environment. Tissue and cell culture technologies are essential for studying cell behavior, cell signaling, and tissue development in vitro.
Microscopy & Imaging
We provide microscopy and imaging solutions for researchers to visualize and analyze biological samples. Their products include fluorescence microscopes, confocal microscopes, imaging software, and imaging accessories. These technologies enable researchers to capture high-resolution images, study cellular structures, and analyze cellular processes in real-time. WPI also offers several live cell imaging solutions that enable real time and high throughput cell imaging.
