Stereology is the leading method for efficient and accurate quantification of biological structure. Our knowledge of neuroanatomy and research models combined with rigorous mathematical methods and computerized microscopy provides you with robust data and comprehensive design and analysis.

Our advantages are clear - knowledge, validation and study management built into every product - plus substantial workflow improvement. Whereas other software products require major up-front investment, we charge only for what you use. Sinq - making your life easier and ensuring the highest quality.

With the rigor of stereological methods as a foundation, we approach all analyses with a quantitative viewpoint that keeps experiments sensitive AND efficient. Whether your endpoints are morphological, behavioral or biochemical, we always include the appropriate controls, repeated analyses and random sampling - guaranteed reliability!

Our consultants have many years of experience with all aspects of neuroscience research. If you want to setup stereology or in-vivo imaging in your lab, we can do everything from hardware integration to training technicians & our informatics team will design custom analysis tools.

Sinq announces cognitive profiling assay. Our substantial experience studying the neural basis of cognition has led us to develop a rapid assay of brain function - with proven sensitivity to detect differences in prefrontal cortex, hippocampus and the neocortex as a whole. Changes in spatial memory encoding or sensory/reward representations can be measured and are applicable to many model systems.

Sinq opens informatics division. As imaging and quantitative techniques become more complex, more and more labs are using custom analysis and visualization tools. At Sinq, we have developed software for many applications including integration of basic microscopes and in-vivo imaging rigs, and tools that make image analysis faster and more robust. Our new division will continue to develop these tools, customize them for your applications, and make them available to labs at prices much lower than commercial software packages.
