ConfoCor 2 - FCS available to the Life Scientist
What can you do with ConfoCor 2?

The Confocal Measurement Volume can be placed even inside Living Cells
The inverted light microscope Axiovert 200 or the confocal laser scanning microscope LSM 510 is used to identify the point of measurement for the ConfoCor 2.

The ConfoCor 2 determines biochemical interaction at this point.

Beyond the in vitro analysis of molecular interactions, there is an ever-growing need for new approaches to study binding phenomena in living cells. The combination of FCS and confocal laser scanning microscopy, as supplied by ConfoCor 2/ LSM 510 combi, allows for the first time to apply FCS to the non-invasive study of molecular processes in living cells. For example, you can easily track the formation of oligomeric protein complexes involving fluorescently-tagged components of signal transduction pathways.
