JenLab GmbH

JenLab GmbH was founded in 1999 in Jena (Germany). The staff actually consists of ten employees, mainly operating in research and development. JenLab is member of the Thuringian Clusters BioRegio and OptoNet.
The product range of JenLab includes a wide field of scientific equipment and supplementary
products for optical Nanotechnologies based on femtosecond lasers, particularly for
applications in biotechnology, cell biology and medicine. Further accessories for highresolution
microscopy are provided (cell chambers, fluorescent dyes, histological
preparations).
DermaInspect® is a novel in vivo multiphoton-laser-scanning-system for non-invasive optical
biopsies of human skin with sub-cellular spatial resolution. It is based on multiphotonexcitation
of the autofluorescence on biomolecular level by femtosecond-lasers in the near
infrared. The device is designed for the examination of human skin and can be used for early
detection of melanoma as well as for tumor diagnosis. By the use of fluorescence lifetime
imaging (FLIM) various fluorophores can be pictured differentiated.
The Scanning-Microscope JenLab Scan is a system for specific fs-laser based investigation
techniques in biological and medical basic research.
With TauMap® a system for spatial (nm-range) and temporal (ps-range) resolved
fluorescence analysis and for the determination of fluorescence decay times in single living
cells is available. TauMap® can be used particularly for detection of protein-proteininteractions
based on two-photon fluorescence resonant energy transfer (FRET).
femt-O-cut® is the latest product of JenLab. It is suitable for nano-surgery, optical genetransfer
and nano-materials-processing with nJ and µJ laser pulses.
In the field of microscopy accessories JenLab offers MiniCeM® and MiniCeM® grid, specific
cell chambers for high resolution microscopic investigations as well as manipulation and
diagnosis of single cells by fs-lasers. Further JenLab GmbH provides novel fluorescent dyes
for verification of enzymes by fs-laser diagnostics.
Potential application fields for JenLab-products can be found in micro- and nano-surgery,
gene diagnosis, in refractive, tumoural and neural surgery as well as evolutional biology.
Additional markets that can be developed with the Know-how of JenLab are in the field of
fabricating nanostructures in polymers and semiconductors.
