“MAGNA will provide a truly unique capability to quantitate base-pair unfolding events, to identify the most appropriate molecular interactions to unlock diagnostic assays” Anastasia Callaghan. Professor of Biochemistry & Molecular Biophysics, University of Portsmouth - UK

MAGNA One for
biophysics research

It’s time to say goodbye to hours of hunting through hundreds of fields of view to find rare molecular events. MAGNA One’s power to study tens of thousands of molecules in parallelcan transform your research efficiency.

In turn, MAGNA One can provide you and your research teams with richer, more comprehensive data, leading to deeper insights and more robust biophysical conclusions.

Take a look at our product brochure, to see whether MAGNA One can help you with your research.

JFA

"MAGNA One allows us to work with several thousand molecules. That’s very important to us because we’ve shown that every time we increase the number of molecules we can study by a factor of ten, we learn much more about the scientific questions we’re investigating.” Jean-Francois Allemand, Professor Biophysics, ENS – Paris
