GENXMAP, your trusted partner to support you in your research.

Confocal microscopy is a cutting-edge technology that allows for capturing three-dimensional images with unparalleled precision, especially in the observation of cells and tissues labeled with specific antibodies. Thanks to its ability to eliminate out-of-focus signals, it offers enhanced resolution and increased depth of field, making it possible to study subcellular structures in detail. This tool has become indispensable in biological and medical research for visualizing protein distribution and their precise localization within complex cellular contexts, contributing to a better understanding of pathophysiological mechanisms.

In addition, GENXMAP and its partners offer advanced High Content Screening (HCS) technology. This approach combines cellular imaging with computational analysis to simultaneously assess multiple biological parameters on a large scale. Used for high-throughput studies, it enables the rapid detection of phenotypic effects in response to compounds or treatments, making it possible to identify new therapeutic targets and accelerate drug development.
