Navitar Life Sciences has announced they have entered into a binding agreement to acquire assets of Modulation Optics and their Hoffman Modulation Contrast (HMC) Imaging Technology.
Hoffman Modulation Contrast imaging is used in the identification and characterization of stem cells in live cell observation and analysis systems. In In‐vitro fertilization (IVF), embryos are routinely observed by means of this enhanced contrast microscopy technique. Additionally, Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) and Intracytoplasmic Morphology Selected Sperm Injection (IMSI) techniques also utilize Hoffman Modulation Contrast systems.
With the acquisition of Modulation Optics and the HMC technology, Navitar is making a substantial commitment to expand their biomedical capabilities with live cell imaging optics.
