Applied Biophysics Engages ibidi USA as Manufacturer’s Representative in the US and Canada
Troy, NY (PRWEB) April 12, 2016 -- Applied Biophysics Inc. has engaged ibidi USA as a manufacturer’s representative covering the US and Canada to market their ECIS measurement systems. Since breaking into the North America market in 2009, ibidi’ s line of cell-based microscopy consumables, reagents, and equipment has continuously grown in popularity with researchers in academia and industry alike. Based out of Madison, WI the ibidi USA sales team has over 60 years combined experience in the biotech industry.
ECIS™ or Electric Cell-substrate Impedance Sensing is an impedance-based method to study many of the activities of animal cells when grown in tissue culture in real-time. These include morphological changes, cell locomotion, and other behaviors directed by the cell's cytoskeleton.
“Our cooperation with ibidi extends back many years,” says Christian Renken, VP for Life Sciences at Applied BioPhysics, “as they have been our primary European distributor since 2005. More importantly, however, is our cooperation in providing solutions for monitoring cells under flow conditions and developing correlative ECIS and microscopy assays. Using the ibidi designed flow chambers with our ECIS technology allows us to offer the only system that can measure TEER under flow conditions. Adding ibidi’s technical sales team in the US and Canada is a logical step in providing our customers better service and products.”
