What services does the Nikon BioImaging Lab provide?
The lab provides full-service imaging, data analysis, and cell cultures using Nikon microscope systems and software solutions. The staff includes biologists and microscopists that provide support in imaging, data acquisition and analysis. The level of service and involvement of the lab is determined individually for each client based on need. Some need only access to equipment and are capable of data acquisition/analysis on their own, while others may require full-service imaging and analysis support. Or any level in between.
Additional applications include high content imaging and analysis; 3D imaging; fluorescence imaging; high resolution imaging; color imaging; label-free imaging; cell screening and high throughput imaging, among others.
What differentiates Nikon from other providers?
Nikon has been a technological market leader in scientific imaging for more than 100 years. Today, the company is a leader in Biomedical imaging and has some of the most advanced imaging technology available in the world. The Nikon BioImaging Lab uses its years of optical innovation and cutting-edge product offerings to help scientists accelerate clinical and diagnostic breakthroughs.

How does the Nikon BioImaging Lab ensure the security of sensitive research information?
The Nikon BioImaging Lab has a comprehensive data security strategy in place that uses several layers of protection to ensure the security of customers’ information. This includes hardware, network, application, and personnel security measures. Nikon employs industry standard best practices to ensure the integrity and security of the data we provide.
What is Organ-on-a-chip (OoC) imaging?
Organ-on-chips mimic the complex, three-dimensional structures and functions of living organs in vitro, providing reproducible assay environments for drug testing and the study of health and disease states specific to various organ systems. Imaging these simulated micro-organs typically requires high speed and imaging depth as well as analysis techniques to quantify this three-dimensional data. Nikon provides a complete acquisition and analysis solution for Organ-on-a-Chip Imaging.
Is the lab operational during COVID-19?
Measures have been implemented to prevent the transmission of the virus while creating the necessary safety conditions to ensure that work can proceed. In fact, the Nikon Bioimaging Lab can serve as additional capacity during this uncertain time for organizations when labs might be operating at a lower capacity.
