Free Visikol Product Samples for Tissue Clearing and 3D Tissue Imaging
WHITEHOUSE, N.J. (PRWEB) July 22, 2019 -- While today Visikol is primarily focused on providing pharmaceutical and biotech companies with best-in-class services in the fields of 3D tissue imaging, digital pathology, 3D cell culture models and machine learning, Visikol initially started back in 2013 as a products company. These products are focused on addressing the limitations associated with traditional histopathology by allowing researchers to render tissues transparent such that they can be imaged in 3D when combined with fluorescent labeling and three-dimensional microscopy. The Visikol portfolio of tissue clearing reagents and kits has been used by over 1,000 research labs from around the world for applications ranging from tracking the efficacy of viral-based therapeutics in the brain to studying plant material in droppings from Gorillas in the jungles of Rwanda.
This product portfolio includes the Visikol HISTO-1 and Visikol HISTO-2 reagents designed for use with whole tissues such as a whole mouse brain as well as the Visikol HISTO-M reagent which has been designed specifically for use with 3D cell culture models and organoids. Additionally, the first reagent which Visikol developed was the Visikol for Plant Biology reagent (formerly referred to as Visikol) which has been used industry-wide in the botanical microscopy field as a replacement for chloral hydrate in visualizing plant samples.
"For the last six years our products have been staples for researchers trying to extract the highest quality of data from tissues and we want to allow any researcher to now give our products a try. Therefore, we are excited to launch this free sample initiative through which any research group can get access to our Visikol reagents for use with whole tissues, 3D cell culture models or plant samples," described Visikol Product Manager Ian MacCloud.

Each one of these reagents has been used in dozens of publications and there is a diverse suite of resources that make adopting these techniques easy-to-use and affordable.

About Visikol:
Visikol is a CRO focused on advanced drug discovery that is leading the fields of bio-imaging, bioinformatics and image analysis. We conduct end-to-end drug discovery services that include both 2D and 3D in vitro models and assays, 3D whole mount tissue imaging, digital pathology and custom drug discovery projects. Visikol offers a portfolio of drug discovery services ranging from 2D and 3D cell culture model and assay development to in vitro screening, animal tissue histology and automated image processing. The focus of these services is to transform tissues into images and ultimately into quantitative data sets that can be mined for actionable insights that help our Clients make more informed decisions during the drug discovery process. Additionally, Visikol manufactures and sells a suite of tissue clearing reagents and 3D immuno-labeling kits. These products allow researchers to easily and rapidly image whole tissues and 3D cell culture models in 3D instead of traditional 2D sectioning.
