Description

The University of Calgary (UCalgary) intends to purchase the ECHO Cellcyte 3 Live Cell Imaging and analysis system, along with the dedicated software, hardware, installation and training from VWR International Co. (VWR), the exclusive distributor for Discovery ECHO Inc. Discover ECHO, Inc., a BICO company, is the sole designer and manufacturer of both the Cellcyte 3 Live Cell Imager and its dedicated software. The Cellcyte 3 is a complete imaging and analysis system designed for long-term monitoring of live cells.
