Definiens Partners in Life Sciences

Partnerships are essential for market enhancement, and critical for delivering value to our customers. That’s why long-term strategic business partnerships are central to our market strategy. Our network of partners in life sciences provides worldwide support for every facet:

Carl Zeiss MicroImaging GmbH, Germany

Carl Zeiss MicroImaging GmbH is the leading supplier of non-contact laser microdissection and micromanipulation systems. These systems stand for absolute sample purity and assure contamination-free scientific work. They are based on the successful PALM MicroBeam modular design, permitting gentle isolation of biomolecules and living cell material through non-contact LCM (Laser Capture Microdissection), as well as the use of an optical trap. The trap is based on the optical tweezers technology for micro-level manipulation and sorting of material. Both modules can be used individually or together in the PALM CombiSystem, thus providing ideal working conditions as a research platform – even for complex applications. The integration of high content image analysis into automated sample harvesting provides quick and reliable characterization of the material of interest for subsequent analysis with simultaneous significant saving of time.

Beecher Instruments

Beecher Instruments is a scientific engineering company that has pioneered the development of tissue micro array (TMA) instrumentation. Beecher is continuously improving tissue micro array technology and developing new approaches for automated, high-throughput translational research. Beecher is currently building image analysis routines using Definiens Cognition Network software and coupling these applications with Beecher’s TMA technology to develop integrated TMA analysis solutions.

CTC Laboratory Systems Corporation

CTC Laboratory Systems Corporation (Tokyo, Japan), a group company of ITOCHU Corporation, is Japan's leading provider of total information technology solutions for pharmaceutical, chemical, and food processing industries, as well as life sciences research institutions.

S.CO LifeScience

S.CO LifeScience develops and markets high-quality solutions for all questions in image analysis, with a strong focus on life sciences. The integration of the revolutionary Cognition Network Technology of Definiens guarantees an extraordinarily robust and differentiated recognition of objects. The system is operated via the innovative web-based user interface S.CORE, which only requires a common internet browser without any additional software installation.
