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

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

Research Lecturer, University, UK

Just to let you know we have started the validation study for Comet Assay IV and it has been going very well! We ran a comet assay last week and scored the slides with no problems at all. I am very pleased with the system and it will certainly make a difference when we run some comet studies this year!

Study Director, Food & Household Products Company, UK

Excellent, the training was very helpful and specific to in-house technicalities.

Lecturer, University, UK

We're now using the software and it works great. It has cut our time for comets by at least half.

Post Doctoral Fellow, National Institute of Health, USA

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 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

We are very satisfied with your software.

Scientist, Cancer Research Institute, Slovakia

The system is working great.

Thanks for your attention and great service. I am so glad that we have Comet IV.

Study Director, Contract Research Organisation, USA

I'm really a fan of your system :)

Genetic Toxicologist, Global Pharmaceutical Company

We are impressed indeed! It has saved us quite a lot of time and pains.

Director, Toxicology Research Centre, Spain

I love the software. Keep up the good work over there.

Study Director, Contract Research Organisation, USA

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

Researcher, University, South Africa

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

The current Comet Assay IV system works without any trouble…we are pleased with the system.

Scientist, Chemical Company, Japan

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

Researcher, Nuclear Agency, France

All is going well and the more I use the software the more I love the way it's so simple and intuitive...the comet software is running well and in increasing use.

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

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

Perfect and very clear installation and training.

Study Director, Contract Research Organisation, Europe

...and the system is running great.

Medical Researcher, Cancer Research Institute, USA

The Comet Assay IV system we already installed and is working perfectly.

Scientist, Environmental Institute, Norway

...Everything is fine with the Comet Assay IV system...and I'm pretty happy about this new software with just clicking on the cells instead of drawing a frame around them

Researcher, Cancer Research Organisation, UK

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

Excellent, perfectly straightforward.

Scientist, University, UK

...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 really very happy with the comet analysis system.

Research Scientist, University, Austria

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

Toxicologist, Health Agency, Canada

Perfect and very clear installation and training!

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

Postgraduate Researcher, University, France

It's an amazing program! Really useful!

Research Scientist, University, Brazil

The installation was quick and all the details were described and easily understandable for the technicians.

Head of Department, Global Chemical Company, Germany

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