Digital Microscope Simplifies Cell Culture Checks

Mateo TL, a new digital transmitted light inverted microscope for routine cell culture, has been launched by Leica Microsystems. With Mateo TL, lab members can easily and comfortably check and document cell growth. By consistently measuring confluency, they can be confident in the readiness of their samples for downstream experiments. “Good cell culture sample preparation is an important starting point for every successful experiment, and now it has become even easier and more reliable with Mateo TL,” said James O’Brien, Vice President of Life Sciences and Applied Microscopy at Leica Microsystems.Read Article
