Tools for High Content Zebrafish Screening. The VAST BioImager™ platform automatically loads and rotationally orients 2-7 day-post-fertilization zebrafish larvae for organ-level imaging. Mounts on many upright microscopes for cellular-level fluorescence imaging. Union Biometrica COPAS FP™ and BioSorter® Large Particle Flow Cytometers automate the analysis and sorting of objects too big (10-1500μm) or too fragile for traditional cytometers. Examples include zebrafish eggs & larvae as well as other small model organisms and large cells/cell clusters.

Zantiks Ltd.

BOOTH

Zantiks units enable researchers to measure Zebrafish (adult, larvae and embryo) behaviour, simply. We develop our products in close collaboration with researchers and produce fully integrated and automated systems, at low cost, for multiple species.

Our units are complete, networked systems which can be accessed and operated from any networked device (laptop, mobile phone, tablet, etc). They provide multiple stimuli options, including temperature control, vibration, lighting, audio, and food/liquid & odour delivery for maximum flexibility to the researcher.

The compact units provide an isolated, consistent environment for standardised behavioural assays, including locomotor activity (toxicity, (opto)genetic, circadian), simple learning experiments (startle, habituation, PPI), operant conditioning (5-CSRTT, CPP, Pavlovian), anxiety (open-field, novel tank) and social (mirror biting, focal fish).

Zantiks units are currently available in three sizes: MWP, AD and LT. Results from live video tracking are processed in real-time at 30-60 fps with data therefore immediately available for statistical analysis. The latest models (ZS2) can record and subsequently track video at up to 600 frames per second. The Zantiks MWP ZS2 is further suitable for high resolution filming and the LT is suitable for high throughput tracking (multiple tanks/multi-well plates).

Zantiks units are used on 4 continents, 23 countries and over 80 labs worldwide, and their rigorously tested hardware works with many species

Zebrafish International Ressource Center (ZIRC)

BOOTH

ZIRC is supported by an NIH grant from the Office of Research Infrastructure Programs (ORIP) in collaboration with the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD).

Research Emphasis/Objectives

The Zebrafish International Resource Center is housed on the University of Oregon campus in Eugene. Its mission is to provide a central repository for wild-type and mutant strains of zebrafish (Danio rerio) and for materials and information about zebrafish research. Materials and zebrafish strains are distributed to the research community. Pathology services are provided for diseased fish. Standards and procedures for maintaining healthy strains of zebrafish are being developed and a manual, Diseases of Zebrafish in Research Facilities, for prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of diseases affecting zebrafish, is available.
