We are pleased to announce the signing of an exclusive distribution agreement with Leica Microsystems to promote Leica's SCN400 Slide Scanner across Canada.

Quorum enjoys the continued sucess of the WaveFX-X1 Spinning Disc Confocal System with eight new installations in Canada and the U.S.A. This system incorporates the CSU-X1 confocal head from Yokogawa and the Borealis Illumination System.

Quorum system reaches new levels: Announcing the installation of several North American WaveFX-X1 Spinning Disc Systems with 730nm Diode excitation. This functionality is not possible with other laser based confocal systems.

Visit the Quorum Boutique for online ordering of selected LCI Chamlide Chambers. Special webstore pricing available on 35mm Dish Style Chambers for 18mm & 25mm coverships!

Feature Product
The Leica SCN400 digital slide scanner pushes digital pathology solutions to the next level. Providing an intuitive, streamlined workflow and flexible scanning capability, the SCN400 was designed from the ground up to be faster than any digital pathology scanner currently on the market. Leica's optical engineers have produced a custom optical system which is at the heart of the SCN400, this allows users to visualize pathological and histological sections with unmatched resolution and specimen detail.

	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.
	Leica SCN400 Living up to their reputation for innovation and high quality, Leica released a NEW generation digital pathology system to the market. The SCN400 makes work faster, more reliable and flexible.
	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.

Ji-Young Youn and the Quorum WaveFX system in the Andrews lab at the University of Toronto, Feb. 2010.
Dr. Brenda Andrews, February 2010 We use a Quorum WaveFX spinning disc confocal microscope to track fluorescently tagged proteins in the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Using the WaveFX system, we can accurately determine the sub-cellular distributions of tagged proteins expressed from their endogenous chromosomal loci in live cells and track changes in these distributions over time. The quality of the images acquired on this microscopy platform far exceeds that which we have obtained using our previous microscope or other systems we have encountered in other laboratories. The WaveFX system has an intuitive and robust design, which has enabled us to quickly teach the skills necessary for its operation to new users. We are also extremely satisfied with the fast and efficient technical support we receive from Quorum and highly recommend it to others.
