IonOptix manufactures high-performance fluo- rescence and contractility data acquisition sys- tems. New for 2014, we’ve added a revolution- ary force transducer to our MyoStretcher preci- sion instrument. With the highest resolution and response frequency available, this optical force transducer enables the most precise, most accurate single myocyte force measurements available today.

Biolin Scientific develops and provides ana- lytical instrumentation for the nanoscale analy- sis of interactions and reactions occurring at surfaces, thin films, materials and interfaces. Biolin Scientific consists of the following brands: Q-Sense, KSV NIMA and Attension, that pro- vide expertise in Quartz Crystal Microbalance, Langmuir Blodgett and Contact Angle technolo- gies and instrumentation.

Fluorescence Dynamics 3120 Natural Sciences II Irvine, CA 92697-2715 www.lfd.uci.edu

Ionovation—the bilayer company—represents a wealth of experience in the development and application of modern electrophysiological and fluorescence techniques. The primary mission of the company is to provide state-of-the-art tech- nology and services for bio-membrane research tasks to the scientific as well as industrial markets.

The Laboratory for Fluorescence Dynamics (LFD) is a national research resource center for biomedical fluorescence spectroscopy, supported by the National Center for Research Resources (NCRR, 5P41RR003155) and the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS, 8P41GM103540) divisions of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the University of California, Irvine. Luigs & Neumann GmbH 321 Boschstrasse 19 Ratingen 40880 Germany www.luigs-neumann.com Since the early eighties Luigs & Neumann has established itself as well known developer and producer of electrophysiological workstations. This wealth of experience and the feedback from scientists from all over the world are the basis of the high engineering standards and manufacturing quality of Luigs & Neumann. Now Luigs & Neumann introduces a new Product line: Single molecule force-spectroscopy is an expanding field of research studying mol- ecules under mechanical force. Atomic force microscopy (AFM) was especially successful in studying the mechanical properties of recombi- nant polyproteins, which are typically less than 50 nm in length. The technological improve- ments, the accumulated expertise in force clamp spectroscopy of Julio Fernandez and his group and the collaboration with Luigs & Neumann have crystallized in a new commercial setup, the LN-AFS Pico 1.

1602 Newton Drive Champaign, IL 61822 www.iss.com

ISS manufactures research-grade fluores- cence instrumentation for time-resolved and steady-state measurements, and biomedi- cal instrumentation for the measurements of oxygen saturation in tissue (brain and muscle) as well as functional brain imaging. An extensive line of modular compo- nents complements the instrumenta- tion: laser diodes, LEDs, high pressure cell and fiber optic sensors amongst an exten- sive line of accessories; data acquisition cards for FCS and FLIM, laser launchers, galvo-scanning mirrors and detector units. Applications include Fluorescence Resonance Energy Transfer (FRET), Fluorescence Lifetime Imaging (FLIM), Fluorescence Fluctuation Spectroscopy (FCS, FCCS, PCH), tissue oxy- genation, and Optical Topography (NIRS).
