Recent improvements in gigaethernet megapixel CCD camera technology now make it possible to achieve parallel experimentation on up to 40 individual molecules at the same time with the basic PicoTwist microscope, dramatically increasing throughput and statistics and enabling experiments to be conducted on systems previously considered too difficult to work with (for instance structural enzymes rather than catalytic enzymes). No extra cost. We are therefore very pleased to announce that thanks to the streamlined production process, and so as to reflect lowering production costs, we will now be offering a 7% discount on all new orders. We have also developed a a realistic simulation software which allow you to preform simple single molecule experiment in silico to evaluate how magnetic tweezers apparatus behave. This software running on PC is freely available on request.
