Seahorse XF Pro analyser

Description

The Centre for Cardiovascular Science (CVS) is part of the new Institute of Neuroscience and Cardiovascular Research (INCR). CVS comprises ~200 researchers encompassing a wide range of cardiovascular research split into four main themes (Metabolism, Obesity and Diabetes; Coronary and Valvular Heart Disease; Hypertension and Renal; Cardiometabolic Imaging). The equipment will allow high sensitivity measurement of real-time respiration in immortalised and primary cells and in tissue explants in several species. The Centre for Cardiovascular Science (CVS) is part of the new Institute of Neuroscience and Cardiovascular Research (INCR). CVS comprises ~200 researchers encompassing a wide range of cardiovascular research split into four main themes (Metabolism, Obesity and Diabetes; Coronary and Valvular Heart Disease; Hypertension and Renal; Cardiometabolic Imaging). Centre for Cardiovascular Science (CVS) requests an Agilent Seahorse XFe24 analyser and software for high throughput real-time metabolic analysis of living cells and tissue explants. The instrument will add easy-to-use capability for metabolic measurements in living cells to better understand cellular metabolism. The replacement XFe24 machine will support the requirements of the centre to deliver world-leading research in the field of metabolism. The replacement XFe24 will allow high sensitivity measurement of real-time respiration in immortalised and primary cells and in tissue explants in several species.
