iLASU: The world’s first mobile app for optogenetics (April Fools' Joke)


iLASU is built on technology from Scientifica's Laser Applied Stimulation & Uncaging system (LASU). It uses advanced micro-LED polarising technologies to harness the power of the phone’s inbuilt light, turning your mobile device into a fully working optogenetic system.

"iLASU will revolutionise your lab. Scientifica have made optogenetics available to anyone with a smartphone."

Dr Louisa Mafeld, Head of Neuromodulatory Studies at the Mark Johnson Institute of Light Excellence
