VIB Tech Watch

Some proteins refuse to express. GNAT did...
That's until the @masscheleinlab.bsky.social and @vibtechwatch.bsky.social trialed Nuclera’s cell-free microfluidics and cracked the conditions in days. Now the VIB Protein Core offers it as a routine service.

Even at half capacity, Tech Watch hasn’t slowed down this summer!

We're pushing boundaries in the spatial untargeted omics space with multiple platforms in our labs at @viblifesciences.bsky.social.

🌟 A big thank you to the CytoTronics team for their fantastic support and openness to co-explore new applications with us!

In on ongoing demo, we are assessing its capabilities in neuroscience research with our @cbdresearch.bsky.social, while also breaking new ground by testing its potential in plant biology with our @psb-vib.bsky.social — an exciting and unconventional application for this technology!

Their single-plate reader (Primo) is designed for smaller scale assays while the eight-plate reader Octo enables high-throughput screening. The multimodal readout supports continuous analysis across diverse biological applications.

Pixel is an impedance-based platform that tracks cell behavior — e.g. attachment, proliferation, morphology, viability, and electrophysiology — with high spatial resolution in 96- or 384-well microplates embedded with microchips.

Ongoing evaluation at VIB Tech Watch – CytoTronics' Pixel 🧠🌱

@vibtechwatch.bsky.social, we always look for cutting-edge technologies of interest to life sciences research @viblifesciences.bsky.social. We are thrilled to be collaborating with CytoTronics to evaluate their innovative Pixel System.

Celebrations @viblifesciences.bsky.social! 25 years of sequencing at our beloved nucleomics core! Stefaan takes it away with a story back to the future. The core has been elemental to our @vibtechnologies.bsky.social program. Big congrats and looking forward to the next 25! #ngs #celebration

Diving deep into the future at @synbiobeta.bsky.social! 🚀 Exploring the intersection of AI, design-based drug discovery, DNA synthesis, and automation—synthetic biology is evolving fast.
Now, a powerhouse panel with DNA synthesis leaders @ansabio.bsky.social , @ElegenBio, and @twistbioscience.com 🧬

Amazing opportunity from RootPath!
C'mon VIB researchers!🤞

Now on stage, our colleague Toon Swings in a duo talk with @jancools.bsky.social on the Tapestry technology of @missionbio.bsky.social! Truly a collaborative succes story between our Tech Watch team and the Cools lab @vibtechnologies.bsky.social.
