Nanolive AG from Ecublens (VD) – 3D research on living cells Nanolive SA is a start-up operating from the EPFL Innovation Park at the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (ETHL). The biotech company was founded in 2013 and developed a tomographic microscope which, for the first time ever, allows for the research of living cells in a 3D environment – without causing damage to the actual cell. The patented technology displays cell activity in real time and in an unprecedented resolution. After placing the cellular specimen in the device, the 3D Cell Explorer performs a continuous rotational scan utilizing software that enables a 3D display of the cell within a second. For the 3D display of the cell to occur, the cellular specimen does not need preparation or colorization with chemical contrast agents prior to display procedure. The non-invasive observation of cells allows for the clear visualization and measurement of external stimuli or medication on the living cell. This great advantage is particularly valuable in the area of artificial insemination. This provides for a more specific selection of ovules and sperm cells without causing damaging to the cells. The 3D Cell Explorer offers landmark breakthrough opportunities for completely new fields of research in medicine, pharma and the cosmetic industry. An entry market price of CHF 20,000 per unit should allow schools, laboratories and universities worldwide to research living cells and to interact with them. The use of the 3D Cell Explorer is intuitive and does not require any special training. Orders and delivery for this new device began in December 2014. Nanolive was recently awarded the First Lab Innovation Award at the Lab Innovation Lausanne. The start-up was also awarded the Pionierpreis for the most promising young entrepreneurs in 2015.
