A new Aurora CS spectral cell analyser / sorter at the I2MC
In December 2021, the I2MC Cytometry facility (TRI-Genotoul) will welcome a new Aurora CS spectral cell analyser/sorter from Cytek. This new equipment, open to the Toulouse scientific community, both academic and private, combines the multiparametric analysis capabilities of conventional cytometry whilst eliminating the need for compensation and...
Identification of key adaptations for the persistence of tuberculosis bacilli
Tuberculosis is an infectious disease that still kills 1.5 million people a year worldwide. The bacterium responsible for this disease probably emerged, through successive adaptations of already existing metabolic pathways, from a relative already present in the environment. By succeeding in reproducing this evolution in the laboratory, researchers have managed to […]
Science publication: Plants encourage fungi into symbiosis
450 million years ago, the first plants left aquatic life. Researchers from the CNRS and the Université Toulouse III – Paul Sabatier, in collaboration with INRAE, have managed to demonstrate that this conquest of the land by plants was made possible thanks to a partnership between plants […]
Super-resolved, dynamic and in vivo, publication Cell Methods
While super-resolution microscopy techniques make it possible to achieve a higher definition than conventional optics, they nonetheless remain tricky to implement and sensitive to optical aberrations. A solution, recently published in the journal Cell Reports Methods by a group involving the LITC platform of TRI-Genotoul, proposes a solution via microscopy at [...]
DNA: The revealed link between size and dynamics
Inside cells, DNA is stored in a compact form. In order to be read and transcribed, its various regions condense or, conversely, unfold. By regulating the organisation and function of the genome, the properties of these condensates are at the heart of genome expression. As part of a study published in the journal Biophysical […]
BRUKER 2P+: a new large-field-of-view two-photon microscope
The Infinity imaging platform (formerly CPTP) has acquired, thanks to support from the region granted as part of the «Octopus» project, a multi-photon confocal microscope enabling rapid acquisitions over a wide field of view: the BRUKER 2P+. This microscope on a motorised upright stand allows multi-colour cellular and tissue observation, thanks to [...]
BD FACSymphony: a new high-performance cytometer
The Cytometry and Cell Sorting Facility of the CPTP has acquired, thanks to the support of the Region (Octopus project), a high-performance cytometer, the BD FACSymphony. This cytometer makes it possible to analyse a high number of parameters (30 parameters) on a single cell. This high-capacity analyser is a powerful analysis tool that enables […]
19th RIME Characterisation Technology Days 🗓 🗺
The RIME (Electron Microscopy Imaging Network, formerly RCCM) is soon organising its annual conference, which will be an opportunity to review the latest advancements in electron microscopy. RIME 2020 poster. More information on the RIME website.
Reopening of all sets
The TRI-Genotoul technical platforms are now reopened and fully functional. Local restrictions may nevertheless still apply and enhanced protective measures remain in place. Users are invited to contact the platforms specific to their activities in order to familiarise themselves with the particular rules. View your platforms' contacts
Closure of the sets during the lockdown phase
All TRI-Genotoul core facilities are closing during the quarantine period. Only experiments requiring continuity of service and which can be conducted independently will be authorised – subject to a derogation from the relevant supervisory authority and strictly on this exceptional basis. During this period, requests may still be sent to us via this address
