HNu’s Contract Services with the ISS:
HNu’s SCORPIOV Bio SpaceLab
HNu’s SCORPIOV Bio SpaceLab is a versatile platform was commissioned to conduct live-cell biological interrogations on SpaceX vehicles and the International Space Station (ISS).
The Bio SpaceLab allows researchers to perform long-term (1-3 months) live-cell microgravity interrogations with automated microscopy analysis, environmental control of samples and automated reagent delivery.
Mobile Space Lab Capabilities Overview
Example experiments include:
- Quantifying cancer tumor progression in 3D, observing bacterial replication rates in microgravity and culturing suspension plant cell cultures.
- Bright-field and phase contrast imaging with transmitted light magnifications ranging from 2X-40X.
- Fluorescence microscopy to image a variety of fluorophores. Full SCORPIO-V operational support.
- Automated microscopy analysis, environmental control of samples and automated reagent delivery
FAST LIGHT ATTRIBUTE SENSING HYPERSPECTRAL
FLASH
FLASH: This is a device that can scan a person using non-invasive photographic technology at the molecular level in nanograms. FLASH CHQR provides REAL-TIME detection and identification of the chemical composition of INDIVIDUAL Fluorophores that are the size of 20-100 atoms.
FLASH uses camera microscope technology that can analyze samples for dangerous pathogens very quickly and with extreme accuracy
However this is not a new technology!
FLASH has been used by NASA for over 15 years in finding exoplanets more than a million light years away from earth. It was then adapted and used by the Dept. of Defense for classified use cases. FLASH is so versatile and powerful with the device’s camera / microscope that can look at the molecular fingerprint of atoms. FLASH can look at living cells beyond the spectrum of light to the depth of 1 nanometer. This was thought to be impossible; however, for over 15 years FLASH has been looking into the building blocks of life and the universe.
