Description
Fully integrated, automated cell culture and analysis system for short and long term studies
Specification
Sample Handling: • Plate holder compatible with slides, dishes, flasks and microplates • Two positions available for simultaneous monitoring • Compatible with 6, 12, 24, 48 and 96-well microplates Imaging: • LED light source for long life-time, fast modulation and optimal wavelength • CCD camera • Automatic imaging with easy and flexible selection of ROIs • Automatic focusing maintaining good focus throughout experiment • All-in-focus imaging Z-stack images translated to give single result image with superior focus for entire field of view • 10x objective, 0.7-0.9 μm resolution (x4, x20 and x40 are available) • Automatic vibration compensation via digital image processing Environmental Control: • Temperature, user selectable range of 20-40 C ±0.5 C • CO2, supplied via pre-mixed bottle or external mixer • Each plate position has independent gas feed enabling comparative studies to be performed • Humidity, controlled within the plate via use of patented plate lid or external bottle • Environmental data captured and reported for duration of experiment Dimensions: • W x H x D: 70 cm x 113 cm x 88 cm • Weight: 85 Kg Operating Conditions: • Relative humidity 5-50%, non-condensing • Temperatures of 18oC to 30oC (64oF to 86oF) Power Input Requirements: • Cell-IQ 100-240 V AC / 4 Amps • LCD Monitor 100-240 V AC / 0.5 Amps
Services
• Continuous cell monitoring via the Imagen™ program • Analyser™ software automates the process of quantitation measuring multiple cellular parameters from phase contrast and fluorescence images. • The unique ability to quantify cells/cell phases directly from the phase images based their morphology alone • Cells or cellular structures are characterised and quantified by kinetically tracking changes in their morphology • Studying a diverse range of applications in areas from drug discovery, routine and clinical assays, regenerative and translational medicine through to stem cell research • Optimised incubator capable of short and long term cell studies, one image to a six week study Patented Cell-Secure lid delivering gas directly to microplate • Independent gas feeds to two plate positions enabling comparative studies to be performed e.g. hypoxia • LED illumination for both phase and fluorescence imaging reducing external cell effects such as photo-toxicity and photobleaching • 2D and 3D imaging and dynamic z-stack maximises the range of samples and culture conditions that can be monitored • Automated analysis of multiple cellular parameters from label free phase contrast images and multi-label florescence images
