BIOQUANT will be demonstrating the Life Science at the Society for Neuroscience 38th Annual Meeting in Washington, D.C., November 15-19, 2008. Visit us at Booth 1308!
 

BIOQUANT is pleased to introduce BIOQUANT OSTEO 2009, the lastest in the BIOQUANT OSTEO product line.

 
Selected Features:

• Auto Width for Measuring Cortex Layer Thickness. Also see, Retinal Thickness.
• Sampling Region of Interest aligns to tissue with defined micron dimensions and borders.
• Area % Wand for Cellular mRNA Analysis
• Batch Measurement to automate repetitious measurements. For example, see Liver Fibrosis.
• Updated Stereology Toolkit plug-in includes:
  • Optical Fractionator CE calculations per Schmitz and Hof, 2000.
  • The software automatically tabulates tissue thickness from disector locations to determine mean tissue thickness.
  • New Fakir probe for measuring tissue volume and tissue surface area simultaneously.
  • If your system has the Imaging Toolkit, you can montage the sampling area so students can trace it on one field of view.
• New Densitometry Toolkit plug-in for receptor binding assays and other quantitative densitometry applications.
• See the BIOQUANT Life Science page for more details.

Selected Features:

• NEW FEATURE: Define a Rectangular Tissue Volume of known micron dimensions. Rotate to fit the tissue orientation, then use the known buffer borders to set the TV ROI onto the tissue a set distance from the growth plate and cortical walls.
• NEW TEMPLATE: Bone Metastasis template for measuring TV, BV, Tu.V, Oc.N, and BS.
• Define an Irregular Tissue Volume at low power with a drawing tool that ensures you are a set distance away from cortical walls and other anatomical boundaries. Then bind high power measurements to within the irregular TV.
• Measure Bone Volume & Bone Perimeter with Surface Distribution automatically.
• The Osteoid Tool simultaneously measures osteoid volume, osteoid surface, and osteoid thickness.
• The dLS Tool simultaneously measures the length of double labeled surface and the interlabel distance.
• The Calculations Box box displays current values.
• See the BIOQUANT OSTEO page for more details.
