March 2010: Cantilevers from SCL-Sensor.Tech. enable breakthrough in bacterial research
Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have used cantilevers developed by SCL-Sensor.Tech. to image the killing of bacteria by peptide antibiotics in real time with high speed Atomic Force Microscopy. “This paper is a highly significant advance in the state-of-the-art imaging of cellular processes,” says Prof Paul Hansma, a physics professor at the University of California at Santa Barbara who has been developing AFM technology for 20 years and was not involved in the research.
