Axioscan7 blade scanner at the FRAIB
The FRAIB platform recently acquired a new Axioscan7 blade scanner from Zeiss. It allows for the scanning of up to 100 blades at 20x or 40x magnification. Able to automatically detect objects on the blades, it then adjusts the focus and starts the large-scale scanning of the samples. Currently capable of imaging […]
FP7000 Spectral Shooter at INFINITY 🗓 🗺
As part of the State-Region Plan Contract (CPER 2021–2027) in Occitanie, the GENOTOUL–TRI-PHO project funded the acquisition of an FP7000 spectral cell sorter for the INFINITy Cytometry and Cell Sorting facility. This funding, provided by the State, Inserm, Toulouse Métropole and the ERDF, contributes to strengthening the technology offering and enhancing support […]

Cell Discoverer 7: New equipment demonstration at the LITC 🗓 🗺
The imaging platform of the CBI (Centre de Biologie Intégrative – Toulouse) has just acquired a new microscope: the Cell Discoverer 7. This equipment, designed by ZEISS, is an automated widefield, high-content and medium-throughput imaging system. It operates in both epifluorescence and white light transmission. On this occasion, the team […]
Thomas Mangeat honoured with the CNRS crystal medal
Thomas Mangeat, CNRS research engineer at the Centre for Integrative Biology (CBI – CNRS, UT3), has just been awarded the CNRS Crystal Medal. This distinction honours research support staff who, through their creativity, technical expertise and sense of innovation, contribute alongside researchers and […].
Cancers: discovery of the DNA damage-induced D-chromatin compartment
DNA double-strand breaks can lead to the appearance of translocations, which result from the exchange of genetic material between two chromosomes. Translocations can be the origin of cancers, but they can also be the consequence of chemotherapy treatments, thereby generating secondary tumours. The formation of translocations within our genome remains poorly understood [...]
THE PHENYX OPERA, the IRSD high-throughput confocal microscope
The Opera Phenix available on the IRSD Organoid platform is a spinning disk confocal microscope. It enables the acquisition of a wide variety of live or fixed samples (organoids, cells, tissues, bacteria, etc.) on plates or slides in a completely automated and rapid manner. Thanks to the presence of 4 cameras, it is possible to acquire 4 channels of [...]
