MANSFIELD (MA) - Mansfield Bio-Incubator is proud to announce the addition of two sought-after high-end pieces of equipment to enhance the incubator’s ability to support early-stage companies.
Attune Nxt flow cytometer from Thermo Fisher allows the scientists to analyze the cells using 4 spatially-separated lasers and 14 fluorescence detectors. Acoustic focusing technology enables sample flow rates up, to ~10x times faster than traditional cytometers, without compromising data integrity. On July 16, specalists from Thermo Fisher conducted training for future end-users of the instrument.

DriveAFM Atomic Force microscope allows the scientists to explore a variety of phenomena in different domains. The applications include the visualization of DNA double helix, or viral capsid structure, observe the complex patterns of 2D materials and their atomic structure, and measure the electronic properties of semiconductors with high precision. In this way, companies working on the variety of projects such as nanomaterials, coatings, cell and gene therapy, and biomaterials to name a few, will have an indispensable tool to move their projects faster. The instrument was installed and is now fully operational.

The acquisition of both instruments was made possible through the generous $800K grant from Healey-Driscoll Administration and will further accelerate the growth of the emerging life science ecosystem in Southeastern Massachusetts. Along with generously funded mentoring program, semi-annual pitch competittion, and a state-of-the art facility, Mansfield Bio-Incubator offers the benefits of the top-ranked Massachusetts life science ecosystem within 1 hour from Boston/Cambridge.
