Chip-Man Technologies appoints Ionovation GmbH as German distributor

Cell-IQ® System

Customers in Germany now have access to Chip-Man Technologies’ novel Cell-IQ live cell imaging and analysis platform through life science specialists Ionovation GmbH. Ionovation is a technology company with a strong background in imaging and optical techniques, making it the ideal partner for Chip-Man Technologies.

Chip-Man Technologies’ unique Cell-IQ system is a powerful tool for researchers wishing to study cell lines, primary cell, co-cultures and mono-layer tissue models. The system allows scientists to study live cell behaviour in an optimised and stable environment and automatically analyses the findings, supporting the research efforts of scientists in areas such as cell biology, functional genomics, drug discovery, in vitro fertilisation, in vitro toxicology and regenerative medicine.

Dr Karsten Gall, chief executive officer for Ionovation, explained: “Our focus has traditionally been on the development of microscopy and electrophysiology equipment, serving customers worldwide. As our products are mainly for membrane biology and cellular applications, Chip-Man and Ionovation complement each other perfectly. The Cell-IQ platform is a very recent addition to our range of instruments, and has great potential to meet our customer’s needs. We have had a good deal of early interest in the product and are now looking forward to building on this through seminars and laboratory demonstrations.”
