Our Customers testimonials

Prof. Michael Rosen
UT SOUTHWESTERN, USA
“The Cherry Temp system was essential to acquiring some of our key data on the temperature-dependence of FUS phase separation. The system worked extremely well in these biochemical analyses. It was easy to use and robust, and required only small amounts of material.”

Prof. Pierre Gönczy
EPFL, SWITZERLAND
“CherryTemp allows us to perform temperature shift experiments with unprecedented speed and precision with C. elegans embryos. It is very well designed and easy to use. Moreover, we found the the customer service at Cherry Biotech to be very responsive and competent.”
