Optics enhances distribution network
Towa
supplies microscopes for different category of users from basic student
microscopes to the advanced motorized microscopes for research and
diagnostic laboratory users.
Towa Optics is the authorized distributor of
many reputable international companies such as Nikon,
(Japan), Media Cybernetics (USA), Linkam (UK), Thermo Electron ( USA)
and Laboratory Imaging (Czech Republic). It provides various
instruments and equipments like biological microscopes, image analysis
systems, cooled/uncooled scientific cameras, semiconductor inspection
equipment, controlled environment equipment and histopathology/cytology
products.
The company supplies microscopes for different category of users from
basic student microscopes to the advanced motorized microscopes for
research and diagnostic laboratory users from Nikon including upright
microscopes, inverted microscopes, stereozoom microscopes, mulltizoom
microscopes, confocal scanning laser microscopes, digital microscopes
and intergrated live cell imaging systems. The company supplies
Nikon’s new BioStation incubator imaging systems that take
live cell imaging to new levels of sophistication by providing
consistent environmental control of temperature, humidity and gas
concentration when managing, observing and recording cell growth,
morphology, and protein expression in culture.
Other products offered include Biostation IM that delivers
remarkably high signal to noise ratios, producing fluorescence images
that reveal more than ever before and BioStation CT, the
world’s first integrated cell culture observation device that
allows imaging experiments to be conducted without ever removing the
cells from the incubator. Consisting of a standard sized tissue culture
incubator with an inverted design microscope inside, BioStation CT
holds 30 vessels ranging from 24 well plates to 75cm2 flasks, which are
moved between the microscope stage and the vessel rack via a robotic
device while maintaining precise levels of CO2, humidity and
temperature.
Pathology equipments supplied by the company include tissue processors,
pathology workstations, microtome, cryostats, cytocentrifuge, tissue
embedding systems and slide strainers. Towa also offers a broad array
of high-quality centrifuges from Thermo Fischer Scientific, USA, to
support applications including clinical and blood banking,
microbiology, tissue culture, molecular biology and genomics, drug
discovery, and proteomics.
The company also has image processing software for scientists and
professionals in research, medicine, production and quality control
from Media Cybernatics. Towa Optics also has cryo-preservation systems
from Thermo Scientific designed to meet the rigorous storage
requirements of cryogenic samples and ultra-low temperature (ULT)
freezers designed to store and protect critical samples.
