Images are acquired at single cell resolution for whole microtitre plates using an integrated digital microscope. Cells are imaged in situ, meaning they are not stressed by sample removal (pipetting or enzymic treatement), and since no fluorescent dyes or stains have been added these cells are physiologically relevant for time course studies.
Images are processed and presented on the computer with analysis of direct cell number, confluence, colony count or morphology differentiation. Data can be exported and a digital record is created.
Key application workflows where Cell Metric™ delivers significant benefits include:
The Cell Metric™ includes a range of features to ensure you get the best images of your cells and the best data. Fast read times, automatic focussing and support for a wide range of SBS format microplates mean the Cell Metric™ will easily slot in to your existing workflows.
A wide variety of applications are supported by the Cell Metric™ from cell proliferation, single cell cloning and stable cell line generation through to cell viability and clonogentic assays.
A wide range of cell types can be analysed using the Cell Metric™. Check out the data here.
The Cell Metric™ is straightforward to use, so you won’t need hours of training before you get usable data.
