The CellAssist 50
Automated Live Cell Imager
Automated Time Series Imaging of 50 Incubated Plates 24/7
The CellAssist 50 is an automated time series cell imaging system with an integrated 50-plate CO2 incubator enabling deep insights into cell and tissue dynamics.
The CellAssist Software, the foundation of the cell, and tissue visualization and analysis capabilities, automatically builds a database of images, and metrics including growth rate, confluence, colony counts, and sizes.
- Up to 50 incubated cell culture plates, each with separate imaging schedules, allow for consistently timed around-the-clock experiments.
Improve Reproducibility, and Accuracy of Your Cell Culture Experiments:
- Automate Your Time Series Imaging:
Remotely schedule, execute, and capture time series images of incubated plates at your desired frequency 24/7 - Increase Productivity:
Maximize throughput, and capture comprehensive data from up to 50 plates with 100’s of stacks of images per plate - Protect User, and Cell Health:
Robotics enable the automatic loading and unloading of plates without disrupting the incubator’s cell culture environment - Image Cells, and Tissues:
Image adherent cells, suspension cells, and tissues with 1,000’s of images/scan using 100+ focal planes, 2 µm to 50 µm apart (user selected)
Time Series Imaging of up to 50 Plates at 100+ Focal Planes
- Phase contrast & bright-field; 4x, 10x, and 20x
- 50 plates, and 100+ focal planes, 2 µm to 50 µm apart (user selected)
- Superb image registration across scans
- 6-well through 384-well flat bottom and round bottom cell culture plates
- Temperature, CO2, and humidity controls
- 2.5GB to 40GB+ of images, and data per scan
CellAssist 50’s Robust Workflow
Unprecedented Efficiency, and Automation
Take Your Live Cell Imaging to Many Levels:
Capture up to 30,000 images at 100+ focal planes,
each 2 μm to 50 μm apart, with automated handling
of culture plates, and barcode scanning
Image all the cells in all the wells including at the periphery, and calculate both inner- and outer-well confluency
5-megapixel cameras collect images at 4x, and 10x with
phase contrast, and bright-field, that rival the
resolution, and quality taken at (20x, and 40x) on other
instruments
Time-stamped barcode activity logs, and setup condition tools eliminate mislabeling, and crosscontamination
Multiple cameras generate 1,000’s of high resolution image sets of 2.5GB to 40GB+ per scan in minutes
Integrated Solution Protects Your Team and Cell Health:
- Built-in incubator eliminates time at the inverted microscope enabling the researcher to focus on interpretation data
- Robotic handling of plates protects cells, and lab personnel
- Once seeded, and inserted, plate images are automatically captured without user intervention
- Image an entire plate in less than 10 minutes without disrupting the cell culture environment
The CellAssist Software:
- A centralized location for storing, and archiving your captured data
- Remotely view your captured data
- Generate informed quantitative reports on cell confluency, cell growth, scratch gap area recolonization, and viral plaque counts
