Description
For advanced live cell imaging and microscopy. The ability to grow, observe and manipulate complex cultures requires precision control over the cell culture environment. The CellASIC® ONIX2 Microfluidic System enables pre-programmed manipulation of multiple key cell culture parameters to allow real-time observation and measurement of how changes to media, temperature and gas environment impact live cells. Using high-quality, optically clear microfluidic plates and intuitive software, the system integrates with a broad range of inverted microscopes to allow continuous, high magnification observation of live cells — as they react to their environment in time.
Features Microfluidics-based cell culture allows exacting manipulation of the cellular environment while conserving valuable cells and reagents - Ready-to-use plates and simple controls eliminate the technical complexity of live-cell/microfluidic experiment setup
- Plates engineered for diverse cell phenotypes optimize in-focus observation of adherent or suspension cells, bacteria, yeast
- Microvolumes mean more control, less media and reagent use, less biohazardous waste
More dynamic, in vivo-like conditions - Static culture can’t capture cellular processes
- Living cells are in flux and may respond instantaneously to changing conditions
Precisely regulate the cell culture environment - Maintain consistent temperature & gas mixture
- Easily regulate introduction/withdrawal of treatments, media, buffers using software controls—and with no disruption to culture.
- On-demand, rapid changes to conditions enable observation of cellular response in real time
Capture cell behavior in real time - Design your own automated protocols to set up long-term experiments that proceed and are imaged without intervention
Document cells continuously, without losing focus - Trap cells within a single focal plane – even difficult-to-corral suspension cells
- Track cells long-term, with automated imaging
Ready-to-use plates, engineered for diverse cell phenotypes, regulate introduction or withdrawal of treatments with no disruption to culture, design automated protocols
