BEACON ASIA TOUR |
Join us in Kyoto at Kyoto University Graduate School of Medicine Medical Innovation Center
Overview
Experience the full potential of live single-cell functional analysis and discover how researchers use Beacon technology to accelerate discoveries and unlock new insights.
Powered by advanced optofluidics, every Beacon instrument lets you track multimodal, time-resolved cellular responses in real time—seamlessly pairing functional data with sequencing from the very same cell.
Explore Beacon Discoveryâ„¢, our new benchtop platform that packs these powerful optofluidic capabilities into a more accessible and compact package.
