Notice Title

PRIMO - Microscope

Notice Description

The equipment (PRIMO) is a bioengineering platform enabling scientists to build custom microenvironments for living cells. This technology is necessary to advance our ability to generate cell products for biomedical applications such as drug screening or cell replacement therapies. PRIMO can be used to understand how the cells respond to specific microenvironmental variables (stiffness, geometry, chemistry of the cell substrate) or to build cellular substrates that mimic the native environment of the cells

PRIMO can be used to understand how the cells respond to specific microenvironmental variables (stiffness, geometry, chemistry of the cell substrate) or to build cellular substrates that mimic the native environment of the cells

Procurement Information

PRIMO is an innovative technology that builds on the recent work of CNRS academics in France who have partnered with industry (Alveole) to streamline the fabrication process of custom cellular environments and make it accessible to non-specialist labs. Two patented technologies give PRIMO unique strengths that fulfil our requirements: a) flexibility for the prototyping of a wide diversity of cell substrates designs and b) speed to enable high throughput applications.
