The distributor agreement covers WaferGen’s entire family of SmartSlide Micro-Incubation System products. According to the company, WaferGen’s SmartSlide Micro-Incubation System is a first-of-its-kind family of integrated fluidics exchange micro-incubation products that work seamlessly with inverted microscopes.
This breakthrough technology is said to enable cell biology and stem cell researchers to conduct complex time lapse imaging studies to characterize, differentiate and proliferate cells, as well as grow stem, primary and other difficult to cultivate cells in consistently optimal physiological conditions. These innovative capabilities will allow researchers to pursue cutting-edge research topics that are not addressable with existing technology.
Alnoor Shivji, chairman and CEO of WaferGen, said: “This impressive momentum is playing a major role in our ongoing efforts to grow our SmartSlide Micro-Incubation System business and we expect to continue to achieve important program milestones throughout the remainder of 2008.”
