Analyzing Cells in Their Preferred Environment
Conducting kinetic fluorescence imaging of cellular processes necessitates environmental control throughout the experiment. The Lux3 FL’s compact design allows it to fit inside standard incubators, granting you the freedom to perform fluorescence live-cell imaging experiments alongside your routine cell line maintenance.
Applications Galore
The applications of fluorescence live-cell imaging are vast and varied, making it indispensable in fields such as drug discovery, tissue engineering, immunology, immunotherapy, and cancer research. With the CytoSMART Lux3 FL, you gain a significant advantage over your peers. Our cloud-based solution offers access to a multitude of applications, including cell viability, cellular processes, hypoxia/oxidative stress markers, transfection, co-culture, nanoparticles, and more.
Unlimited Possibilities with Custom Image Analysis
But the possibilities don’t stop there. You’re not confined to these applications or the CytoSMART image analysis software. All images and movies can be easily downloaded from the CytoSMART Cloud environment, allowing you to employ custom image analysis algorithms as needed.
Live Insight into Cellular Processes
The CytoSMART Lux3 FL automatically generates time-lapse movies teeming with cellular features. These videos are captured from within your incubator, ensuring your cells remain undisturbed. You can access and analyze these movies in real-time via the CytoSMART Cloud, providing invaluable updates on your cell cultures and ongoing experiments.
Simultaneous Analysis of Multiple Cell Features
One of the standout features of the CytoSMART Lux3 FL is its ability to analyze both green and red fluorescent tags alongside brightfield images simultaneously. This not only saves you time but also equips you with the tools to distinguish cells or labeled structures within cells. Tracking changes in the fluorescent signal over time becomes a breeze, enabling the identification of variations in cell numbers or fluorescently-tagged cellular components.
Quantification of Real-Time Cellular Events
For experiments that demand quantitative evaluation of cellular events, the CytoSMART Lux3 FL offers an automatic cell counting algorithm. This feature calculates the number of fluorescent objects in the image and tracks changes over time, facilitating the quantitative assessment of cellular events.
Effortless Data Storage and Image Analysis
The CytoSMART Lux3 FL lets you record images at specific intervals, ranging from minutes to hours, or even days – a rarity among imaging systems. These images are then transmitted to the CytoSMART Cloud, where they can be analyzed using our cloud-based image analysis software. You can select the appropriate image analysis algorithm, like confluence detection, to suit your specific experiment.
Online Connection for Remote Inspection
Thanks to cloud-based data storage and image analysis, you can access your recordings and monitor cell cultures in near-real-time from virtually anywhere, using any device with internet access. All recorded data, including images, time-lapse videos, or confluency data, can be conveniently downloaded for further analysis.
Take Lab Automation to the Next Level
The CytoSMART Lux3 FL isn’t just user-friendly; it’s also automation-friendly. You can control it through the app’s graphical user interface or via the CytoSMART Lux Open API. By adapting this Python-based open application programming interface (API) to your lab automation system, you can seamlessly incorporate the CytoSMART Lux3 FL into your automated setup.
From Plates to Microfluidic Chips: Versatile Imaging
The CytoSMART Lux3 FL is versatile in the truest sense. It can capture images of cells cultured in various vessels, be it T-flasks, Petri dishes, well plates, culture slides, or microfluidic chips.
Unlock the power of fluorescence live-cell imaging with the CytoSMART Lux3 FL, and witness your research reach new horizons. Elevate your experiments, save time, and gather richer data – all with one innovative device.
