Used SHIMADZU CBM-20A Lite #9388272 for sale

SHIMADZU CBM-20A Lite is a laboratory instrument designed to measure the dynamic motion of biological samples, allowing researchers to observe their characteristics under physiological conditions. This versatile equipment features four components to facilitate data collection: a dynamic stage, an optical microscope, a computer, and an electrostatic force detector. With these components, the system can be used to measure the mechanical properties of biological samples such as cell swelling, cell adhesion, and membrane conductance. CBM-20A Lite unit utilizes an optical analysis machine that employs total internal reflectance (TIRF) microscopy to measure the dynamic motion of the sample. This tool is powered by a CCD camera, which can be used to magnify images up to 1000x and a series of lenses that make detailed imaging of the sample possible. By utilizing a lag-servo-controlled dynamic stage, the asset can measure physical properties of the sample, even when operating at low frequencies. SHIMADZU CBM-20A Lite also relies on a computerized data acquisition model to record, store, and analyze the sample's motion. This component of the equipment includes a touchscreen monitor, a data acquisition microphone, and a control/calibration interface. With this setup, researchers can store up to eight channels of data for closer analysis. The final component of CBM-20A Lite system is an electrostatic force detector. With this device, researchers can measure the force, torque, and area of the sample via a series of electrodes. The results of this process can then be used to calculate viscoelastic properties such as Young's Modulus, Poisson's Ratio, and viscoelastic coefficients. Overall, SHIMADZU CBM-20A Lite laboratory instrument provides researchers with a comprehensive data collection unit. By combining detailed imaging, dynamic motion measurement, and force detection capabilities, the machine is capable of measuring the physical properties of biological samples in a range of environments and at low frequencies. This makes CBM-20A Lite an invaluable tool for researchers looking to better understand cellular and biological phenomena.
