National Science Teacher Association Conference
March 20, 2008
Nanopoint Inc., an award-winning developer of cellTRAY® Fluidics and
Imaging System products, has announced it will be selling its special
educational cellTRAY® kits that make science personal for middle and
high school students in its booth at the National Science Teachers
Association (NSTA) 56th National Conference in Boston, March 27-30,

Honolulu, HI (PRWEB) March 20, 2008 -- Nanopoint Inc., an award-
winning developer of cellTRAY® Fluidics and Imaging System products,
has announced it will exhibit at the National Science Teachers
Association (NSTA) 56th National Conference in Boston, March 27-30,
2008. Nanopoint will exhibit its innovative cellTRAY Products in
Booth 814, including the cellTRAY slides used for RNAi-based
experimentation. Nanopoint will also be selling special educationally-
priced cell biology Science Kits featuring the company's cellTRAY
Dish, an environmentally-
tailored for slide-based experiments.
The cellTRAY Science Kits for Teachers are priced at $30 and contain
materials and instructions as well as NSES standards reference. The
directions explain in a step-by-step fashion how the individual
student is to use the enclosed sterilized toothpicks to scrape inside
the cheek, place the cell scraping on the slide in the cellTRAY Dish,
and stain the scrapings of the cells with the enclosed Trypan Blue
solution. The student is then to observe his own live cells under a
microscope, making the experiment a personal experience directly
related to the individual student. The cellTRAY Science Kits for
Students are priced at $180 and contain cellTRAY Dishes, activity
worksheets and supplemental materials for a classroom of 30 students.
Nanopoint is focused on innovative products that solve problems in
the laboratories for research scientists and pharmaceutical
companies
"Nanopoint is focused on innovative products that solve problems in
the laboratories for research scientists and pharmaceutical
companies," said Cathy Owen, president of Nanopoint, Inc. "We also
recognize the need to look beyond today's marketplace and focus on
the future of scientific research and we sincerely want to encourage
young people to pursue scientific research as a career. Nanopoint has
a strong sense of community, especially strong here in Hawaii with
our state's history of service to education. We believe that the
cellTRAY Science Kit will inspire middle and high school students to
become more interested in biology by offering them these experimental
materials with a personal twist."
Live cell based imaging is one of the most important topics of this
era; Nanopoint offers a family of products especially designed for
live cell experimentation in drug discovery, life science, and stem
cell research. Nanopoint's cellTRAY Family of products won a gold
medal in the 2007 BusinessWeek International Design Excellence Awards
in the Medical and Scientific Products category.
Nanopoint's cellTRAY Imaging System Model CT-1000 creates new
standards of precision and levels of efficiency for the study of
small clusters of live cells, creates new approaches for multiple
cell analysis and simultaneous processing required by new drug
discovery applications and cell research. Nanopoint's award-winning
cellTRAY provides a microarray of etched wells and includes fluidic
channels necessary for delivery of drug compounds, nanoparticles and
long-term life supporting fluidics.
Nanopoint's cellTRAY Dish is commercially available as a stand-alone
product. The cellTRAY Dish was designed to contain the cellTRAY (or
any standard microscope slide) during the cell loading, incubation,
washing, and staining stages of an experiment. The autoclavable,
reusable container is environmentally friendly and can easily replace
single-use Petri dishes in many applications.
