Recent News

Quorum Technologies named exclusive dealer for Hamamatsu scientific Imaging cameras in Canada.
Quorum is pleased to announce that Micro System AB of Sweden has recently entered into a distribution agreement with Quorum Technologies Inc.
Quorum is pleased to announce the recent signing of an exclusive distribution agreement with Leica Microsystems Vertrieb Gmbh. Leica is now the exclusive distributor for the Quorum angstrom illumination system across all of Europe with the exception of Sweden and Finland.

Feature Product

The Quorum angstrom™ is a unique product designed specifically to circumvent common engineering limitations and restrictions found in the illumination pathways of microscope stands available in today’s market. The angstrom™ is an engineered optical projection device with enhanced optical components. The system is modular in nature and can be used for several microscope applications, the most common of which are associated with fluorescence illumination. The angstrom™ can be adapted to any microscope that has a photo-port or, alternatively, optical adapters can be used to connect the angstrom™ directly to

microscope objectives for OEM applications. By creating an illumination pathway that is both accessible and optically refined; the angstrom™ provides a platform for advanced applications which require precision, resolution, stability, quality light projection, and reproducibility.

	Quorum WaveFX Spinning Disc Quorum is one of the early adopters of the Spinning Disc Confocal technology and has led the Canadian Market with the WaveFX. We continue to impress researchers with images they have not been able to obtain with scanning confocal systems or any other modality.
	Quorum Angstrom™ The angstrom™ replaces the traditional fluorescence light path with an external light pathway. The result is a revolutionary advance in how routine fluorescence imaging is performed.
	Aperio Digital Pathology Systems Aperio's ScanScope Systems, comprised of award-winning ScanScope scanners and Digital Slide Information Management Software, deliver integrated digital slide creation, viewing,management, and analysis tools for virtual microscopy in education, clinical and research applications..
	Molecular Machines Industries Laser Microdissection isolates tissue from a range of sample types including paraffin, cryo and live cultures. The isolated tissue can be used for molecular analysis.
	Live Cell Instruments Chamlide One of the most challenging aspects of live cell imaging is keeping cells happy over time. Quorum is pleased to introduce the Live Cell Instruments line of imaging chambers. These chambers offer control of temperature, CO2, humidity and perfusion.

Sébastien Côté with The Quorum WaveFX System located in the Drapeau lab at the University of Montreal, 2009
Dr. Pierre Drapeau, February 2009 "My lab uses the Quorum WaveFX spinning disc confocal system to image fluorescent cells in zebrafish embryos. We work with fixed tissue as well as live embryos. Our reconstructed images from fixed tissue surpass many of the images we have obtained with other systems used by collaborating labs and the Quorum WaveFX is therefore our workhorse. When working with live embryos the spinning disc system permits us to capture a maximal signal from a field of cells with minimal illumination and bleaching. This allows us to perform time-lapse studies over periods of hours and simultaneous calcium imaging during electrophysiological recordings from cells in the field of view. With its competitive price and stable solid-state features, I recommend it for anyone interested in imaging dyes in the visual wavelengths, which is 99% of our applications".
