GATTA-Cells

The GATTA-Cells series supplies you with high-quality standard cell slides. They are manufactured in close collaboration with the Center for Microscopy and Image Analysis at the University of Zurich. Cell slides of the UZH have proven their outstanding performance by being broadly applied and demonstrated by Leica Microsystems and Olympus Europe.

Ready-to-use GATTA-Cells slides contain fixed and stained huFIB or U2SO cells for fluorescence imaging (for instance for wide field, confocal, SIM, or STED).

Currently we are offering two versions:

GATTA-Cells 4C

Multicolor huFIB cells displaying 4 colors
Nucleus: DAPI
Mitochondria: Tom20 with Alexa Fluor 488
Microtubules: α-Tubulin with Alexa Fluor 555
Actin: Alexa Fluor 647

GATTA-Cells 1C

Singlecolor U2OS Nup96-mEGFP cells
Nuclear pore complexes: Anti-GFP with Alexa Fluor 647
Recommended for dSTORM applications

GATTA-Cells are embedded in ProLong Diamond (4C) or Vectashield (1C) and show high photo stability with shelf lifes of at least 6 months (storage at 2-8 °C).

For dSTORM applications we recommend powerful laser lightsources

Beginner: Samples to check the basic functions of your microscope. Easy to resolve, also for beginners in the field of super-resolution microscopy.

Advanced: Samples to optimize the settings of your microscope. Advanced experience is necessary in order to resolve the nanorulers.

Expert: Samples which demand perfectly aligned microscopes and very experienced users which are able to optimize acquisition and data evaluation.
