Fluorescent zebrafish and the detection of transgenic lines by the EggSorter

Halloween is just around the corner and zebrafish are in a spooky mood too! Did you know that fish can be fluorescent? Researchers are using fluorescent zebrafish to study a wide range of development mechanisms and pathways. This article explains how fluorescent zebrafish are obtained and how fluorescence can be detected. It also highlights the areas of use and important discoveries made possible by this technology. Finally, the article also explains how the EggSorter can be adapted to detect fluorescence.  Zebrafish transgenic lines Fluorescence detection in the EggSorter Conclusion References…

Automating the sorting of Xenopus oocytes and embryos

Xenopus laevis is the scientific name of the African clawed frog. This species is native from southern Africa and inhabits slow moving water or stagnant ponds. Its facility to adapt to different environments and conditions makes it considered as an invasive species in Europe, North America and South America (1). The consequence of its invasiveness is a decrease in the local biodiversity because of the competition with local amphibians and the fact that it eats local fishes and invertebrates (1). On the other hand, X.laevis is a very good model organism…

We have released to the market our first product – the EggSorter CE

Bionomous, the Swiss-based startup that builds devices to automate processes in Life Science Research, announces that today its first product is market ready and has received CE certification. The ‘EggSorter’ is a device designed to automatically screen, sort and dispense small biological entities, such as the eggs of zebrafish, killifish, medaka and other aquatic animal models. Aquatic animal models have been increasingly used in research laboratories and in the industry to find new treatments, perform toxicology tests or understand better the biology and genetics of the living beings. The team…
