Fluorophore-conjugatedrecombinant antibodies

High contrast fluorescence imaging using antibodies can be used to understand ever more complex biological problems. Abcam's recombinant RabMAb antibodies, combine the superior antigen recognition of a rabbit antibody with the consistency of a recombinant monoclonal, to focus on prominent targets such as PD-L1, a key cancer biomarker.

			Innovative System for Monitoring Plant Health Through Fluorescence Imaging Farmers around the globe wish to monitor their crops regularly. At present, researchers from a university in China have created a wide-angle imaging system that uses chlorophyll’s fluorescence to observe the health of agricultural crops (Appl. Opt., doi:10.1364/AO.56.009762).

			Choosing The Correct Camera for Fluorescence Microscopy It is important to select the proper camera for fluorescence microscopy which has high sensitivity and low noise, to avoid photo bleaching your sample. A monochrome camera is also preferred for fluorescence imaging because it does not have a color filter pattern superimposed over the image sensor.

	Fluorescence imaging can track vitamin C in the body Vitamin C is best known as a nutrient. In high enough doses, however, vitamin C also shows potential against many cancers, according to recent studies. To successfully develop vitamin C (chemically named ascorbic acid) as a medication, it is crucial to probe its concentration in the body, thus ensuring safe and effective doses.

	Detecting Defects in Plastic Granules with Fluorescence Stereo Microscopy A manufacturer of plastic granules, particularly nylon 6,6, approached NIGHTSEA. These small granules with a size of approximately 2 x 2 x 2.5 mm constitute the raw material for injection molding.

	Targeted fluorescence successfully identifies pulmonary metastases in osteosarcoma patient In a proof-of-principle case report, researchers announce that targeted fluorescence successfully identified pulmonary metastases in a patient with osteosarcoma, making it easier for surgeons to locate the tumors for resection.
