Known for its robust imaging and integrated informatics solution, the Thermo Scientific Cellomics ArrayScan VTI HCS Reader now offers complete live-cell, quantitative kinetic imaging through the addition of our live-cell module. Scientists now have the ability to not only image live cells, but to keep those cells alive for both short- and long-term experiments in a controlled environment similar to that of a tissue culture incubator.
Product Detail
Our Live Cell module can be installed on a new or existing ArrayScan VTI HCS Readers. It provides complete environmental control with full reporting of CO2 and temperature over a defined time course, and works with all Thermo Scientific Cellomics BioApplication image analysis modules.
Simple Scheduling and Powerful Calculations
Simple scheduling allows for flexibility of scanning the desired area of a plate along with defining the time course and number of scans. With the Live Cell module installed, the ArrayScan VTI HCS Reader has the ability to calculate kinetic features on any output feature. In addition, motility features track live cells over an extended time course and report features such as persistence, acceleration, and directionality on a cell-by-cell or well-by-well level.
Cell Tracking
Quantitative measurements can be made on cells that are individually tracked throughout the time course, resulting in the most biologically relevant data.
