Lambert Instruments Delivers LIFA vTAU Camera by Bike to the University of Groningen
At Lambert Instruments, innovation doesn’t stop at technology—it extends to how we interact with our community and the planet. Today, we took a meaningful step in combining scientific innovation with sustainability by delivering one of our LIFA vTAU cameras to the University of Groningen—by bike!
Yes, you read that right. In an effort to reduce our carbon footprint and promote environmentally conscious practices, we made this local delivery in the most eco-friendly way possible.
Sustainability Meets Science
While riding a bike may seem like a small gesture, it reflects a bigger part of who we are. As a company committed to supporting scientific research, we also recognize the importance of preserving the world we live in. That’s why we’re exploring ways to make our operations greener—one ride at a time.
Whether it’s reducing packaging waste, improving energy efficiency, or choosing sustainable transport, we believe small choices can lead to big change.
What is the LIFA vTAU?
The LIFA vTAU is our latest innovation in fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy (FLIM). Built around a high-performance camera system, it’s optimized for fast, quantitative FLIM, especially in live-cell imaging applications.
Key features of the LIFA vTAU:
- High-speed time-gated imaging
- Designed for dynamic biological processes
- Easy integration with widefield microscopes
- Ideal for calcium signaling, FRET, and protein interaction studies

Supporting Local Science
We’re proud to support researchers at the Rijksuniversiteit Groningen, a world-class institution that continues to push boundaries in biomedical and life sciences research. By equipping them with advanced imaging tools like the LIFA vTAU, we’re enabling the next wave of discovery in areas like cell signaling, molecular biology, and disease research.
Innovation Is a Journey—Why Not Bike It?
Delivering high-end scientific equipment might not typically involve a bicycle—but at Lambert Instruments, we believe that how we do things matters just as much as what we do. Every choice is an opportunity to reflect our values: precision, innovation, and sustainability.
