Lux2 Duo Kit Dual Mini Live-Cell Imagers

Side-By-Side Comparison of Cell Cultures | two devices operate via a single laptop, saving precious lab space

The CytoSMART™ Lux2 Duo Kit is a compact automated system, specifically designed to operate from within CO₂ incubators and hypoxia chambers. Gathering real-time insight into the progression of cell growth is now completely non-invasive. Brightfield imaging is deployed to create real-time time-lapse videos, accessible remotely. Samples are also imaged under identical conditions, providing a robust platform for unambiguous comparison between cell culture variables, retaining data integrity.

Inspect Morphology and Analyze Cell Confluency | compare cell cultures, supported by robust image analysis software

Imaging at regular time-intervals allows researchers to make quick decisions around cell quality, as any negative indicators such as blebbing, cell rounding, multi-nucleation and vacuole formation can be easily recognized. Variability in growth speed is easily recognized using the CytoSMART cell monitoring software, while image analysis provides an unambiguous read out for cell confluency meaning you can be confident in your data’s integrity. As such, the system is the ideal approach for the systematic comparison of cultures, in order to select the ideal culturing conditions.

Keep Cells in a Controlled Environment | complete cell culture incubator compatibility

During the observation of cell cultures, the right environmental conditions are vital in order to maintain cell health and keep cells active. Using a remote system avoids exposing the cells to potential mechanical and environmental shock from removing them from the incubator. Once the samples are placed inside the incubator, they no longer need to be handled. The researcher can check videos of the cell cultures in real-time, providing immediate insight into the culture quality. No need to step into the lab for routine inspection rounds, making the process efficient, cost effective and safe.
