"excellent product to safely immobilise motile cells"

PRODUCT:                 CyGEL
Application Area:        Live cell fluorescent imaging of Leishmania promastigotes

Ease of Use:              ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
After Sales Service:   ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Value for Money:        ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Average rating:           4.7


Comments:                 Without Cygel it would be almost impossible to obtain high-quality microscopy of motile forms of Leishmania parasites. The product is easy to use and gives a reproducible performance. I've used it to image Leishmania promastigotes that were modified to contain fluorescent proteins, in order to gain information on protein function. Cellular morphology remained unchanged by the embedding process and protein localization was not affected. Can highly recommend Cygel.
