Mitochondrial Markers in Human Dopaminergic iPSCs Neurons
A Parkinson model with human neurons:
• Increased number of neurites
• Easy quantification of axonal transport
• More results with 10x fewer cells
Clear isolated axons from human iPSCs-derived neurons
Ananda Devices enabled to obtain over 1 mm long axons in less than 7 days.
Easily identify neurites and track their growth
Clear identification and analysis of neurite growth in hippocampal cultures for 15 days in vitro
• Healthy cultures for more than 2 weeks in vitro
• Efficient tracking of microtubule dynamics
• Clear identification of neurites and their structures
Microfludic devices to study cancer adhesion and invasion
Cancer cells explore the environment sending long membrane protrusions (arrowhead) and are capable of squeezing themselves trying to invade channels much smaller than their own size (arrow).
Axotomy performed on parallel axons using Ananda’s microfluidic devices
One step regeneration test to easily identify new drugs that modulate axonal growth
• Isolation of soma and axonal compartments
• Axons presented in parallel enabled for optimal axotomy
• Easy tracking of axonal growth post-axotomy.

With Ananda microfluidic devices, Dr. Lucido obtained healthy neuronal cultures for over 3 weeks in vitro...
Microdevices to study parasite motility and migration
Protozoa parasites (green) migrate through thin channels attracted by specific proteins present in another compartment. The number of parasites in the channels increase with time.
Studying healthy neuronal cultures for 4 weeks in vitro
Dr. Margaret Magdesian (McGill University, Canada) was studying synapse formation and measuring neuronal electrical activity.
Easy analysis of axonal transport
Dr. Mohamad Khazaei (University of Toronto, Canada) required easy identification of axons with uniform dimensions in order to efficiently analyze axonal transport.
Connection of two isolated neuronal populations
Pipette micromanipulation guides the extension (> 250 µm) of the new filament from population one over the gap and the formation of a connection with the neuronal population two.
