Description
The Omni is an automated bright-field microscope that can visualize an entire surface of a cell culture vessel and operate from inside a standard CO2-incubator, biological safety cabinet or on a benchtop. Not limited to a specific type or quantity of culture vessels, the Omni captures cellular behavior by creating high-quality time-lapse videos for days or even weeks at a time.
The Omni, fitted with the new digital 6.4 MP CMOS camera, can monitor cell cultures and study biological processes with enhanced spatial resolution, while also allowing cells to be kept in their desired culture environment. Higher quality images coupled with robust AI-based image analysis ensure that you will generate reliable and reproducible experimental data with minimal artifacts.
With Omni you can:
- Pinpoint important events in the progression of the cell culture from experiment to experiment.
- Uncover attachment and detachment rates.
- Evaluate events like cell death and compare growth rates.
- Investigate and compare parameters like confluence, area infiltration and growth rate.
- Scan up to 6 vessels per hour.
- Get a complete overview of sample confluency.
- With the integrated Continue Experiment feature, it is now possible to perform multiple transient screens in parallel to an ongoing long-term kinetic assay by simply pausing the running experiment.
- Image full plates, flasks, dishes and microfluidic devices.
- detect organoid growth, and more.
The Omni is highly flexible and is compatible to any transparent vessel that is lower than 55 mm. All vessels with a surface area smaller than 99*131 mm can be imaged in full. To ensure the proper environmental conditions, users can place the compact Omni inside any standard cell culture incubator. The smooth curvatures of the Omni platform ensures minimal airflow disturbance. This ensures that your samples stay in their desired, homogeneous environment throughout the entire experiment.
The Omni generates 6500 images at cell level detail: 10X magnification, 6 minutes for a full plate. These images are automatically stitched and provide a complete overview of the entire vessel that is used during assays and culturing.
