🤹‍♀️ Still juggling primary antibodies from different species? Still stuck in sequential staining? ⏱️Switch to Smart Secondaries®🦙: ✅OneStep-IF ✅Same-species #multiplexing ✅Higher precision & reproducibility! Choose smart 👉 bit.ly/3UZxRMI #SecondaryNanobody #Microscopy #Immunofluorescence

@abberior.rocks — and NanoTag Biotechnologies rocks with them! 🤘 Smart Secondaries® 🦙now conjugated to abberior STAR dyes 🌈. Discover brighter, sharper, #STED -ready, species-independent #multiplexing & one-step IF. 🔬🤩 #SecondaryNanobodies #SuperResolution #FluorescenceMicroscopy

Preprint: IntAct-U-ExM enables robust, isoform-specific expansion microscopy of actin networks in yeast and mammalian cells. A cool study led by @anubhavdhar.bsky.social in collaboration with Sudarshan and Deepak Nair. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

A new study by @jungmannlab.bsky.social presents #SPINNA, a model-based tool for quantifying protein stoichiometry, oligomerization state, and spatial arrangement from super-resolution data.🔬For precise labeling of #GFP & #mCherry fusion proteins researchers used our #nanobodies 😊 📄 bit.ly/4jTHfes

Please welcome our official #mesoSPIM channel on this platform, @mesospim.bsky.social. Repost is appreciated!

Fun fact: Alpacas love dust baths! 🦙💨 Spring at our farm means blossoms, sun & lots of happy rolling in the sand 🌸☀️ Just like our alpacas enjoy a refreshing dust bath, our clients enjoy smooth #sdAb discovery. Let’s roll into new discoveries together 🙃! #NanoTag #VHH #nanobody #AlpacaAntibodies

Very excited to present our latest work: SPINNA, an analysis framework and software package for single-protein resolution data! 🖥️🤩 We can directly quantify stoichiometry and oligomerization from super-res (DNA-PAINT, RESI) images!! 🧬🎨

🚀 New: sdAb anti-Human #IgG! Expanding our #Smart Secondaries® (secondary #nanobodies) range with high-specificity sdAb clones for precise Human IgG detection. Minimized linkage error, superior penetration, ideal for one-step IF, ELISA, WB & therapeutic Ab testing. 👉 bit.ly/4ia1H9B

Finally a role for the most common synaptic marker in the world synaptophysin - maintaining synaptic vesicle diameter: www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Excited for our latest work! We developed nanobinders for the luminal domain of Synaptotagmin 1 (calcium sensor for synaptic vesicles). Thanks among others to @verstrekenlab.bsky.social @opazo.bsky.social @meunierlab.bsky.social @volkerhaucke-lab.bsky.social www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Our lab at the NIH (Bethesda, MD) is looking for postdoctoral fellows to join our team studying the molecular mechanisms of protein trafficking and their links to neurodevelopmental disorders starting on or after 10-1-2025. Send your application to [email protected]. Please share and repost!

I am very excited about the invitation of @petrikursula.bsky.social to give a seminar at the Uni Bergen (UiB) 🇳🇴. I’ll share some of our work using @nanotag.bsky.social engineered #nanobodies with erasable signals for multiplexing microscopy. Paper: lnkd.in/een2yCDx Seminar: lnkd.in/esNGXhiv

We had a blast hosting curious young minds at NanoTag Biotechnologies for #Zukunftstag2025! From alpacas to #nanobodies, pipetting, microscopy, and liquid nitrogen fun❄️ 🌹with team from myriamed — science, teamwork, and discovery were in the spotlight! 🔬🧪🦙 #FutureDay2025 #ScienceIsFun #BiotechCareers

Interesting talks on the Extra Celular Matrix (ECM) session at the German Neuroscience Meeting here in #Göttingen #NWG2025; @neurowissg.bsky.social. Let's see what else is there interesting!

An interesting preprint from the Horrocks' lab detailing the behavior of secondary nanobodies (such a @nanotag.bsky.social ones) at the single molecule level and optimizing protocols for multiplexed labeling: doi.org/10.1101/2025...

I am Absolutely delighted to share the preprint of our last collaborative efforts where we investigated the impact of sonostimulation of Mesenchymal Stem Cells. Thread -1- www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

...and there we have it - the first paper for 2025 😀 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

My 1st post in bsky is about our latest paper of 2024. Excellent collaboration with @petrikursula.bsky.social @myelincentric.bsky.social & Bradley Zuchero labs. We characterized a set of 🦙 #nanobodies binding myelin protein CNPase. It is online at @jneurochem.bsky.social: dx.doi.org/10.1111/jnc....

Please share, we have #PhD opportunities for anyone interested in filming the #Biophysics of life at the nanoscale. Full details at: heath-afm-lab.github.io/positions/ Projects based around developing and applying High-Speed Atomic Force Microscopy methods to understand molecular dynamics.

The #FOMISUR workshop has started! Joined the gang including @lumasullo.bsky.social for a local beer

The big one is out! So over the moon to see our latest work with Stéphane Vassilopoulos published in Science. Check out how we reveal the unique architecture of clathrin-coated pits and endocytosis at the axon initial segment: www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Here's a starter pack that focuses on engineers/builders/makers/enablers of optical tools for (cell) biology. I'm pretty sure that the pack is incomplete - if you want to join the list, please reply with your favorite probe (that you made or used) and I'll add you 🤓 go.bsky.app/2YVvYER
