Laboratories at The Scripps Research Institute (TSRI) are investigating antibodies to fight Ebola virus, including the three antibodies recently used to treat two American health care workers infected with the Ebola virus.

Biochemical and cell based assays using a microplate reader provide quantitative data on ex vivo cell behavior, while viewing cells with a microscope allows researchers to see cellular and intra-cellular processes via fixed cells or with live cell imaging. Both methods are equally important to life science research and the drug discovery process. Together, these methods provide valuable, content rich data that otherwise requires the expense of multiple instrumentation.

Understanding “How It’s Made Matters” was the tenet around which the Helmer Scientific Ultra-Low Freezer was designed and developed. Care was taken to focus on each aspect of the product to ensure that every component works together to create an optimized system that instills confidence in the user.
