Union Biometrica, Inc. to preview VAST™ (Vertebrate Automated Screening Technology) at the 10th International Conference on Zebrafish Development and Genetics.
Based on the technology from the Yanik Lab at MIT1,2, VAST™ will allow even the most demanding zebrafish handling and cellular-resolution imaging tasks, and high-throughput high-content screens to be automatically performed using zebrafish larvae.
Please visit us at Table #411 for more VAST™ details.
Not attending the meeting? You can visit us on the web at www.unionbio.com or contact us at sales@unionbio.com to talk to one of our applications scientists regarding your sample requirements.

About Union Biometrica, Inc.
Union Biometrica designs and markets Large Particle Flow Cytometers (COPAS™ and BioSorter®) for objects that are too large / too fragile for traditional cytometers and offer an alternative to manual sorting under a microscope. These systems sort and dispense objects based on size and fluorescent parameters. Automating this process offers increased speed, sensitivity, quantification, and repeatability of experiments.
Peer reviewed journal papers referencing the sorting of zebrafish using our COPAS™ and BioSorter® instruments can be viewed using the links below.
