Southern University of Science and Technology

01 School Introduction

Southern University of Science and Technology ( Southern University of Science and Technology ), abbreviated as " SUSTech ” ，located in Shenzhen, Guangdong Province. It is a national " Double First-Class ” construction university, a national pilot university for comprehensive reform in higher education, and a high-level science and technology university in Guangdong Province.

2012 year 9 month, Southern University of Science and Technology was officially established; 2016 year 4 month, it obtained the qualification to award bachelor's degrees; 2018 year 5 month, the university became a doctoral degree-granting institution; 2023 year 9 month, it was approved as a national pilot university for engineering master's and doctoral programs.

02 Research Background

Colorectal Cancer ( Colorectal Cancer ， CRC ) is one of the common malignant tumors of the digestive tract. It ranks third in incidence and second in mortality among malignant tumors. According to GLOBOCAN data shows that, 2018  year, global new cases of colorectal cancer reached 185  ten thousand cases, approximately 88  ten thousand deaths, posing a huge threat to human health. SW480 carrying Kras mutations and p53 mutations are both high-frequency pathogenic mutations, therefore it can be used as a typical colon cancer cell model for scientists to study Kras and p53 the oncogenic mechanism of mutations and to establish a drug screening platform. In addition, it can also be used as a positive control for the identification of these mutations by PCR identification.

HEK293 Cells rarely express endogenous receptors required for extracellular ligands and are relatively easy to transfect. It is a commonly used cell line for studying the expression of exogenous genes. 293 A derivative of cells: 293T/17 has higher transfection efficiency, becoming a powerful tool for researchers to study gene function.

293 The defect of cells is that the adhesion strength is relatively small during growth. Therefore, it is easy to lose during the experiment, thus affecting the experimental results. If a laboratory newly obtained 293 cells are obtained by mail and the cells are in the culture bottle, the cells need to be allowed to settle for a few days, because a large number of cells will float in the culture medium.

03 Customer Pain Points

Primary cells extracted from organisms often face problems such as high impurity content and severe cell aggregation, which brings significant difficulties in cell concentration and viability analysis. When using a hemocytometer for manual counting, not only is the process time-consuming, but it is also easy to produce large counting errors.

Efficient and Accurate Cell Analysis Solution

Newtonian Optics Venus Automatic high-throughput cell counter can identify and distinguish individual cells and cell clusters through high-precision imaging counting and excellent algorithms when analyzing tumor cells, thus reducing errors in the counting process. Compared with the hemocytometer which needs 4 to 6 minutes to complete the analysis of a single sample, Venus it only takes ten seconds to easily complete the analysis of a single sample, significantly improving experimental efficiency. And based on the multi-field imaging system, a larger sample collection volume can ensure that the data results are more stable and accurate.

Newton Optics is honored to contribute to the scientific research of Southern University of Science and Technology in Shenzhen. Newton Optics aims to provide high-quality and convenient experimental solutions for researchers!

Product Overview

Venus is a fully automatic, portable, high-throughput cell counter launched by Newton Optics, which can perform high-throughput bright-field and trypan blue counting of various types of cells. Venus It adopts an integrated design and is equipped with EasyFive six-well cell counting plate, which can complete 6 samples and 30 fields of view in one step, and the time only takes 1 minutes. The unique portable design greatly improves the space utilization rate of the laboratory.
