Testomonials

'We are delighted with the quality and easy of use of the Okolab microscope stage top incubator. It seamlessly integrated with our microscope for live cell imaging.'
Prof Nikolaj Gadegaard, University of Glasgow
'We are extremely happy with the high quality 3D imaging of our samples. The OHREM system is very flexible, and fully upgradable. We initially only had funds for the single-channel model. However, when we got another grant 12 months later, able to upgrade our system to a 2-channel model with less than 24 hours downtime. The system is very reliable, with virtually no maintenance required. For example, we have used our machine 24/7 for months on end, without any repairs required. In the 2 years we have had the OHREM, we have achieved completely consistent data quality. Aftersales service is friendly, prompt and informative. Chris is also committed to further developing the OHREM technology and engaging with users. For example, he attended a one day workshop organised at University College London in 2019, where users from around the worldwide were able to swap tips and tricks to improve HREM workflows. He made many valuable comments, and was also able to keep us updated on the latest technical developments for the OHREM system.'
Dr Duncan Sparrow, Department of Physiology, Anatomy & Genetics, University of Oxford

'HREM data has allowed the DMDD team to identify nearly 400 different phenotypes in knockout mouse embryos. These range from large-scale organ malformations to the abnormal development of nerves and blood vessels.'
