Measuring molecule diffusions

We propose various approaches (FCS, FCCS, N&B, SPT and SPT-PALM) to measure the diffusion characteristics of fluorescent molecules, in vitro or in live cells. Depending on the approach, we can access the oligomerization state, the local concentration, the diffusion constants of one or several fluorescent populations, the directionality...

After a meeting, we can conduct some experiments to assess the feasibility of the approach. Then a collaboration scheme is defined between the team and the facility. Our R&D division can also implement specific adaptations for your project if needed.
