Discovery
Technology International has completed the first phase of
development of a new website featuring the Company's
unique piezomotor technology. DTI's President, Dr.
Mark Broderick, explains: "the new site is designed to be
both informative and appealing. Our objective is to draw
awareness to the benefits of DTI's piezomotor technology
which offers a viable alternative to traditional
(electromagnetic) motors in many applications".

DTI introduces a new line of economical
laser diode systems with 2 years of
warranty and several unique laser systems with
applications in ultra-fast
molecular spectroscopy, photochemistry, biophysics,
solid-state physics, and
material science. The Fluorescence Up-conversion
Spectrometers (FLUOMAX) is
designed for emission time-resolved measurements in
solutions, vapor cells and thin
films and fluorescence anisotropy measurements. It is
optimized for MHz Ti:Sa
Oscillators and it covers fluorescence phenomena from
femtoseconds to 2 ns with
sub-100fs time resolution. Rainbow 20F is a white light
continuum seeded optical parametric amplifier (NOPA)
able to generate extremely short
pulses. The tunable range covers extremely broad
wavelength range with no change
in optics. Visit

DTI has introduced the
first
motorized and automated
stereotaxic instrument for microsurgery and microinjection
on mice and neonatal rats. For nearly 100 years the basic
design principle used in standard stereotaxic instruments
has remained relatively unchanged based on traditional XY
and XYZ linear displacement configurations. So not only
does RoboMate STX represent the first motorized
stereotaxic it is also the lone stereotaxic instrument
that can precisely position the probe/electrode/needle at
infinitely variable angles with respect to the target.

An
article, discussing
DTI's innovative piezoelectric technology for precise
angular and nanopositioning and its impact on the
biomedical and microelectronic fields, was published in
the Nov/Dec Issue of the peer reviewed Journal IEEE
Circuits and Devices Magazine.

DTI-NanoTech's
RoboMate
advanced hybrid positioner was featured on
the front cover of Vision Systems Design Magazine
DTI NanoTech (Sarasota
based division of Discovery Technology International, LLLP)
is proud to announce that their latest robotic hybrid
positioner "RoboMate"(patent
pending) was featured on the
front cover of Vision
Systems Design magazine, a PennWell Journal devoted to
vision and automation solutions. The accompanying
editorial, describes how RoboMate in combination with
a high-resolution digital imaging camera can be used in
positioning visualization and inspection applications.

DTI-NanoTech
reveals the world's
first combined angular-linear motorized nanopositioning
system, RoboMate™
(Patent Pending).
DTI-NanoTech (Div.
Discovery Technology International, LLLP) announces
the commercial
release of RoboMate™. The first system of its kind to
allow a probe/tool/laser to be precisely positioned at
infinitely variable angles with respect to the target
sample. Using DTI’s Virtual Point™ technology the tip of
the probe/tool/laser can remain fixed at a specific point
whilst it’s angle of approach with respect to the target
sample can be varied continuously. The technology, based
on a totally new concept and design principle, represents
a quantum leap in micro/nano-positioning evolution.

Advanced Artifact Rejection Technology for the flagship
range of laser Doppler blood perfusion monitors
We announce a very significant development in laser
Doppler blood perfusion monitoring; the launch of a
next-generation, signal processing engine that effectively
rejects motion artefact noise in the blood flow signal.
Artefact Rejection Technology (ART™) substantially
reduces and in most cases, completely eliminates motion
artifacts or ‘spikes’ in the blood flow data arising from
sensor cable movement and/or sensor-to-tissue movement.
After many years of development and extensive testing,
laser Doppler technology has been advanced to the point
where it can be used reliably in hitherto impossible
‘moving tissue’ blood flow monitoring applications. This
development places the equipment we offer at the forefront
of laser Doppler blood perfusion monitoring with a
technology that is reliable, easy to use and effective
even in the most challenging tissue monitoring
environments. This is something researchers have been
demanding for longer than we can remember. We are proud
that we can finally offer them a viable solution.
ART™ will be a standard, no extra-cost, feature in all
OxyFlo systems shipped from July 2005 onwards.

The latest
release of ColCount software (version 4.3.1.2)
includes an enhanced colony detection algorithm
developed in response to
user feedback.
The 'CHARM Enhanced' algorithm is available from the
Cell Preset panel as shown below.
CHARM Enhanced can be selected in conjunction with any
customized Cell Preset configurations previously saved
to disk. Please note however that in order to maintain
the algorithm selection the configuration must be
RESAVED (either as a new Cell Preset configuration or
by overwriting your existing one).
CHARM Enhanced has been exhaustively compared to the
original algorithm and found to consistently
outperform it, yielding the following primary benefits:
The short
animations below serve to demonstrate enhanced colony
resolution in situations of medium to high colony
plating density. Each example represents a different
cell line and each animation shows the same area of
colonies analyzed using the original algorithm (CHARM)
or the Enhanced algorithm with Detection and Filtering
settings unchanged.
