CyGEL™ Fixed zebrafish embryo imaging

CyGEL is ideal to immobilize fixed zebrafish embryos (e.g. Danio rerio) for high quality crisp imaging for your publications:

  • Fixed fish can be held still for high resolution imaging, needed for HCS applications - see the image below, showing the developing vasculature growing towards the retina.  This will work for any large unmanageable piece of tissue.
  • For LIVE zebrafish embryo imaging work we recommend CyGEL Sustain 
  • CyGEL is recommended for LIVE zebrafish micro-injection / micro-surgery (LINK)
