Unlocking new features on Bruker ULTIMA with FLIM LABS
👩🔬👨🔬👩🔬Have you ever wondered how to upgrade a Bruker Ultima to unlock its full potential with FLIM?
Read our last article to know how the FLIM LABS upgrade kit can seamlessly transform a Bruker two-photon microscope into a powerful Fluorescence Lifetime Imaging Microscopy (FLIM) platform.
The kit’s components are designed for a straightforward, USB-powered integration that works in parallel with the original Bruker system. This dual-operation design ensures researchers can acquire fluorescence lifetimes and perform advanced phasor analysis without disrupting the microscope’s standard functionality.
By capturing fluorescence decay instead of just intensity, the upgraded system provides a robust, concentration-independent readout. This capability is crucial for applications like label-free metabolic imaging, which uses NADH fluorescence lifetimes to differentiate between cellular processes like oxidative phosphorylation and glycolysis.
Ultimately, this upgrade combines 2-photon microscopy and FLIM to create a powerful, flexible tool that significantly expands the scope of existing research.

Laserblood: a new hope
Biomedical research has long aimed to cure cancer, leveraging advanced technologies and drugs to enhance survival rates. However, cancer remains a global burden due to limited accessibility and high costs of treatments. Tumor prevention emerges as a vital approach to combat cancer, potentially reducing mortality rates and healthcare expenses. Unfortunately, effective screening methods are lacking for many cancer types, including pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), which exhibits a dismal five-year survival rate of less than 10%. Laserblood, a research initiative funded by the European Commission’s EIC Pathfinder program, offers hope for PDAC prevention. Led by FLIM LABS, Laserblood utilizes Fluorescence Lifetime Analysis (FLA) to identify PDAC markers in blood samples, enabling early diagnosis and treatment evaluation. Collaborating with esteemed institutions, Laserblood aims to develop a non-invasive in vitro diagnostic test, leveraging FLIM LABS’ innovative technology to combat this lethal cancer effectively.
