WHAT OUR USERS ARE SAYING
“The Newormics vivoCube and vivoChip system has revolutionized my imaging days! It’s easy to set up, fits nicely into our space, and is very user-friendly. And it’s so fast! I can image and score a full chip in about 40 minutes!”
Dr. Lotti Brose
Pierce-Shimomura Lab, University of Texas at Austin
“I found the L4-YA chip from Newormics extremely effective in immobilizing L4s and adults for live imaging even without supplementing the system with any anesthetics. The imaged worms also seemed to be in good condition when the imaging session was concluded...”
Nikhil Mishra
Conradt Lab, LMU Munich
“Newormics LLC...unveiled their microfluidic chips for easy immobilization and imaging of up to 5000 worms, proving yet again that you are only limited by your imagination! We already beta tested their dual chip that can immobilize up to 80 worms in tandem, across two sets of microfluidic channels, and it was awesome!”

Director of Preclinical Development, Perlara
