Metabolic Profiling to Determine Bactericidal or Bacteriostatic Effects of New Natural Products using Isothermal Microcalorimetry

A new method published in JoVE highlights the work of the group of Professor Rolf Müller at the Helmholtz Centre for Infection Research. They have been using the calScreener to investigate how the...

A completely new way to see your biological sample

There are not many methods that can claim to give a completely unique insight into your model system but isothermal microcalorimetry is one of them. Whether that is microbial biofilms or tissue...

Microcalorimetry: a promising alternative to studying microbes with more to offer than traditional optical density readings

Although Optical Density (OD) measurements have been traditionally applied to examine the growth of bacterial cultures, the technique of isothermal microcalorimetry is becoming widely used for its...

Real-time monitoring of biofilm metabolism using microcalorimetry

Direct measurements of metabolism can add a new dimension to research into biofilms. While there are different methods, microcalorimetry has a number of advantages that allow it to fit into various...

Use our demo process to get data for your grant

High-quality preliminary data is essential to getting funding to acquire an instrument. If you think microcalorimetry could be a good fit for your lab and you need preliminary data, Symcel has got...

Microcalorimetry has more uses than you might have thought

If you’ve ever wondered how the metabolism of your biological system changes over time, then microcalorimetry might be the technique for you. Traditionally only a select few labs with specific...
