Rejuvenation Technologies Inc.: Zaber Next-Generation Multi-Channel LED Inverted Automated Epifluorescence and Brightfield Microscope
Published on Oct. 30, 2019
Customer Application
Rejuvenation Technologies Inc. is applying Zaber's MVR microscope to biological imaging for drug development. Rejuvenation uses the Zaber microscope to measure telomere length as part of their studies of anti-aging therapeutics. Rejuvenation also uses the same microscope to perform imaging of cells and tissue sections stained with fluorescently labeled antibodies that bind biologically interesting molecules in tissue sections and cells. To perform these quantitative imaging studies in a high throughput and accurate manner it is important to combine high-precision, high-speed automation with world-class optics, autofocus, and LED fluorescence illumination.
Zaber's MVR inverted microscope provides a highly versatile imaging system allowing us to perform multi-channel time-lapse imaging with autofocus as well as long-term live cell imaging.

About Rejuvenation Technologies
Rejuvenation Technologies Inc. is a biotechnology startup company located in Mountain View, California founded by Stanford University researchers to translate cutting-edge therapeutics to the clinic to extend the human health span. Rejuvenation's flagship drug is telomerase messenger RNA (TERT mRNA). A single dose of TERT mRNA delivered to mice is sufficient to reverse the equivalent of five years of telomere shortening in humans during normal aging. Rejuvenation aims to move TERT mRNA to clinical trials within three years. Rejuvenation Technologies can be reached at info@rejuvenationtech.com, 1-650-804-8954.
