Omni Automated Brightfield Full Well Plate Scanner

Continuous Imaging Provides Real-Time Insight into Cellular Processes | perform kinetic assays over the course of days or even weeks

Time-lapse imaging allows you to pinpoint important events in the progression of the cell culture from experiment to experiment. Data collection using video monitoring allows users to capture changes within samples and compare the rate of change between samples. 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.

Complete Overview of Sample Confluency | achieved by automated full plate scanning and image stitching

Manual handling and cell seeding can cause a variable density distribution within culture vessels. The CytoSMART Omni automatically scans complete well surface areas and instantly stitches these images to give users a complete overview of cell coverage.

Compatibility with Any Transparent Culture Vessels | imaging of full plates, flasks, dishes and microfluidic chips

Cell based assays and subculturing all benefit from standardization. Choosing the right vessel and going through the process of understanding how cells behave in said vessel is vital for reproducibility. The CytoSMART 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 (6 – 384-well plates, T-25 – T225, Petri dishes, triple flasks, and HYPERFlasks).

Perform Analysis At Desired Culturing Environment | the CytoSMART™ Omni is designed for you incubator

Live-cell imaging systems require environmental control during the experiment. To ensure the proper environmental conditions, users can place the compact CytoSMART Omni inside any standard cell culture incubator. The smooth curvatures of the CytoSMART Omni platform ensures minimal airflow disturbance. This ensures that your samples stay in their desired, homogeneous environment throughout the entire experiment. What's more, the versatile nature of the CytoSMART Omni allows it to be used directly at a bench or biological safety cabinet, ensuring the most optimal setting for conducting an imaging experiment.

Ensure Sample Stability While Imaging | produce brightfield images without moving your samples

Acquiring images can be highly disturbing to living cells. Environmental shock, like sudden changes in the atmosphere and mechanical disturbance can negatively influence cell viability. The CytoSMART Omni rapidly captures bright field images at cell-level detail without disturbing the cells. Users can set the desired imaging parameters using their own computer and the CytoSMART Omni will follow that scanning regime. There is no need to move a culture vessel on the sample stage, since the camera moves along the platform to capture the entire area of the vessel. Automated time-lapse imaging eliminates the need for any manual interference. Imaging using such a stable system prevents unwanted disturbances and reduces imaging artifacts.
