What can we expect in 2026 when it comes to life science technology?
We asked our @vibtechwatch.bsky.social team: https://beakon.ghost.io/we-expect-the-boundaries-between-core-facilities-to-blur-even-further/
Here’s to a year of fewer walls, better tools, and smarter pipelines! ✨
Some proteins refuse to express. GNAT did...
That's until the @masscheleinlab.bsky.social and @vibtechwatch.bsky.social trialed Nuclera’s cell-free microfluidics and cracked the conditions in days. Now the VIB Protein Core offers it as a routine service.

Crates rolled in and setups took shape aiming for long-term collaborations between @vibtechwatch.bsky.social and @vibtechnologies.bsky.social and a exciting new companies.
Stay tuned — the real stories are coming!

Even at half capacity, Tech Watch hasn’t slowed down this summer!
We're pushing boundaries in the spatial untargeted omics space with multiple platforms in our labs at @viblifesciences.bsky.social.
🌟 A big thank you to the CytoTronics team for their fantastic support and openness to co-explore new applications with us!
In on ongoing demo, we are assessing its capabilities in neuroscience research with our @cbdresearch.bsky.social, while also breaking new ground by testing its potential in plant biology with our @psb-vib.bsky.social — an exciting and unconventional application for this technology!
Their single-plate reader (Primo) is designed for smaller scale assays while the eight-plate reader Octo enables high-throughput screening. The multimodal readout supports continuous analysis across diverse biological applications.
Pixel is an impedance-based platform that tracks cell behavior — e.g. attachment, proliferation, morphology, viability, and electrophysiology — with high spatial resolution in 96- or 384-well microplates embedded with microchips.
Ongoing evaluation at VIB Tech Watch – CytoTronics' Pixel 🧠🌱
@vibtechwatch.bsky.social, we always look for cutting-edge technologies of interest to life sciences research @viblifesciences.bsky.social. We are thrilled to be collaborating with CytoTronics to evaluate their innovative Pixel System.
We are looking for a Technology Expert for New Technologies to help us scout, evaluate, and implement cutting-edge technologies that drive life sciences innovation.

Celebrations @viblifesciences.bsky.social! 25 years of sequencing at our beloved nucleomics core! Stefaan takes it away with a story back to the future. The core has been elemental to our @vibtechnologies.bsky.social program. Big congrats and looking forward to the next 25! #ngs #celebration
Diving deep into the future at @synbiobeta.bsky.social! 🚀 Exploring the intersection of AI, design-based drug discovery, DNA synthesis, and automation—synthetic biology is evolving fast.
Now, a powerhouse panel with DNA synthesis leaders @ansabio.bsky.social , @ElegenBio, and @twistbioscience.com 🧬
Amazing opportunity from RootPath!
C'mon VIB researchers!🤞
Now on stage, our colleague Toon Swings in a duo talk with @jancools.bsky.social on the Tapestry technology of @missionbio.bsky.social! Truly a collaborative succes story between our Tech Watch team and the Cools lab @vibtechnologies.bsky.social.
