Yeast Aging Studies

POSITIONAL RECALL
The MSM 400 automatically remembers the placement of cells and positions can be revisited at the touch of a button.

REPLICATION CYCLE TRACKING
Advanced software automatically tracks the number of cell division each mother has undergone.
Ultra easy-to-use

USER-FRIENDLY TOUCH-SCREEN
The interactive user-interface is intuitive and very easy-to-use. It informs the user the exact stage position and selected operating mode.

ERGONOMIC DESIGN
The comfortable joystick can control all the basic functionality of the MSM 400 with the left hand, while the pendant micromanipulator controls X, Y & Z needle movement with the right hand. The MSM 400 can be set up left or right-handed.

MICROZAPPER™
The MicroZapper is an electronically controlled needle agitator providing an elegant way to separate spores. No more damaged agar and no more lost spores!

MOTORISED STAGE
Move easily and accurately around the cell grid with motor-driven stage controls.

DIGITAL MATRIX GRID DISPLAY
The MSM 400 allows fast and easy dissection of tetrads and cells in a user-defined grid.

MICROMANIPULATOR
400:1 reduction in movement from pendant control to needle. Damped, vibration-free needle movement.
Advanced teaching capabilities

LARGE LIVE-VIEW DISPLAY
The live field-of-view can be displayed on the large touch screen computer, perfect for showing new students how to dissect a tetrad or to separate daughter cells. And, if teaching a large lecture theatre full of students, the MCI can be connected to a projector for large-scale demonstration.

NEEDLE PROTECTION
The 50µm optic fibre needles are coated with glass envelops to provide ease-of-handle and additional rigidity to the needles. They will not break even if you jam them into the agar!
Other features

TIME-LAPSE IMAGING
Image acquisition software on the MSM can take images of cells at fixed intervals and put those images together in a time-lapse video.

COMPACT
Small footprint: free-up valuable lab space.

MULTIPLE PLATE TYPES
The MSM 400 supports 90mm Petri dishes, Singer PlusPlates™, standard rectangular SBS-format dishes and rectangular glass slides.
