Comet Assay IV

An innovation in cell scoring

Comet Assay IVTM is the latest in a highly successful series of comet scoring systems originally developed by Perceptive Instruments, now a part of Instem. Comet Assay IV is the professional choice for those seeking accuracy, reproducibility and GLP compliance.

Getting started with Comet Assay IV is as simple as installing the software and connecting the camera.This can be done in a few minutes either by yourself or your IT department. Once running, Comet Assay IV displays a live video image onscreen that mirrors what you see by looking down the microscope's eyepiece. Any refocusing or stage movements performed at the microscope level are shown live on screen without any lag or delay.

It is actually working great.

Professor, University, USA

The system is working great.

Senior Research Scientist, Cancer Research Institute, UK

Total change in our lab since you came (with Comet Assay IV of course...)! thanks... :-)

Postgraduate Researcher, University, France

The system was set up last month, and so far it works very well. Both my boss and I are very satisfied with it and like it very much.

Researcher, University Hospital, Germany

We have found the Comet Assay IV software very useful and convenient.

Research Scientist, Food Safety Agency, France

Yes, it is very useful and we are in the process of writing a paper also from the data derived from Comet Assay IV.

Assistant Professor, University, USA

I'm really a fan of your system :)

Genetic Toxicologist, Global Pharmaceutical Company

...we are "happy users" of the software

Senior Researcher, Risk Assessment Institute, Germany

It is, indeed, much quicker than the old image analysis system that we had. We are very pleased with it.

Senior Researcher, Public Health Agency, Finland

We are using the Comet Assay IV a lot (and our use is increasing). It's working very well.

Professor, Children's Research Hospital, USA

Comet Assay IV software is in use. Currently our comet analysis is based on tail moment measurement and I must say that everything works properly.

Researcher, Cancer Research Institute, Slovakia

We are very satisfied with your software.

Scientist, Cancer Research Institute, Slovakia

So it's working out fine and we're very happy!

Toxicologist, Health Agency, Canada

Everything has gone very well with the system and we are very pleased with it.

Scientist, University, UK

...have been using it now for a couple of weeks and it seems to be working great. Very user friendly - I love it as does my intern!

Staff Chemist, Marine Laboratory, USA

I don't have any questions about the software as it has worked quite well for us...so far we are very happy with the software.

Research Scientist, University, Australia

The system is up and running. Everybody is impressed with the speed of scoring slides.

Researcher, University, South Africa

We have installed the software and are using it without any problem. It's really simple! My PhD students are very happy with it.

Professor, University, Spain

I have been using the Comet Assay IV Software. It is great! During my software validation, I realized how much easier and precise it is compared to our old software. It makes analyzing the comet slides more enjoyable

Scientist, Medical Research Centre, USA

We have just recently utilized the system and are extremely pleased.

Assistant Professor, University, USA

We started using Comet Assay IV and it works well...

Researcher, Nuclear Agency, France

So far, I'm very happy with the system.
