Extend your capabilities
By combining heating, stirring, liquid handling, spectrometry, and optogenetics into a single easy-to-use platform, Chi.Bio can simplify laboratory protocols and drastically reduce equipment costs. No more will tired graduate students need to stay late in the lab to induce experiments, or run samples between incubators and plate readers.
Automation made easy
Thanks to its intuitive design and easy-to-use web interface, experiments with Chi.Bio can be set up in minutes and monitored remotely. Inbuilt automation functions can be combined with custom programs (loaded into the python-based operating system) to run experiments for weeks without user intervention. Data from each device is plot in real-time as it is collected, allowing experimental protocols and conditions to be changed on-the-go to make the most of each run.
Apply Chi.Bio in your research
Characterise
Accurately probe the behaviour of biological systems with in situmeasurement of multiple orthogonal fluorescent proteins.
Manipulate
Maintain cells in exponential growth with Turbidostat functionality, or use automated optogenetic feedback to regulate gene expression over time.
Optimise
Accurately probe the behaviour of biological systems with in situmeasurement of multiple orthogonal fluorescent proteins.
Evolve
Automate long-term laboratory evolution experiments by subjecting cells to temporal chemical gradients, or stress them with the UV LED.
