Omni FL Live-cell Imager

The CytoSMART Omni FL is a live-cell imager capable of producing high-quality, whole-well brightfield or high-throughput fluorescence images of living cells. Equipped with a brightfield and two fluorescence channels (green and red), the CytoSMART Omni FL can be used for continuous live-cell imaging, as well as endpoint assays. The applications of the CytoSMART Omni FL range from high-throughput analysis of cell viability and colony formation to evaluation of transfection efficiency and co-cultures. The versatility and flexibility of the device is further enhanced through its ability to scan multiple types of transparent cell culture vessels, ranging from T75 flasks and 96-well plates to microfluidic chips and custom culture vessels. The intuitive and open design of the CytoSMART Omni FL ensures that the device is easy to use and maintain, as well as it allows the incorporation of the device into established automated workflows.

Key features of the CytoSMART Omni FL:

• Innovative cloud-based storage and image analysis – monitor and analyze your experiments in real-time, anywhere, anytime. Automatically keep your analyses up-to-date
• Incubator-friendly – perform fluorescence and/or brightfield analyses without disturbing your cells
• “Plug-and-play” – a short training will get you up-and-running. The device is easy to install and requires no maintenance/calibration
• Automation-ready – the open design of the CytoSMART Omni FL ensures effortless incorporation into established workflows, such as automated lab setups or custom culture systems

High-throughput fluorescence and brightfield imaging Scan multiple samples and multiple types of culture vessels Fluorescent labelling of cells and cell structures can aid understanding of complex biological processes. The CytoSMART Omni FL can acquire full-well (and whole-plate) brightfield, as well as fluorescence images and time-lapse videos of cells. Its ability to scan multi-well plates (from 6- to 384-well plates) enables the CytoSMART Omni FL to be used for high-throughput analyses. In addition, other types of culture vessels (e.g. flasks, microfluidic devices, custom culture vessels) can also be imaged using the CytoSMART Omni FL.
Applications: cell viability, transfection efficiency, co-culture analysis, and more Study complex biological processes The CytoSMART Omni FL with its brightfield and fluorescence channels and integrated image analysis algorithms can be used for a variety of applications, ranging from evaluating collective cell migration rates to examining co-culture models.
Cloud-based data storage and image analysis Monitor and analyze your experiments anywhere, anytime Images and videos of running or completed experiments can be accessed and analyzed from anywhere and anytime using the CytoSMART Cloud. The AI-based image analysis enables efficient and accurate quantification of output parameters, including brightfield/fluorescence cell confluence and fluorescent object count.
Easy incorporation into an automated lab workflow Integrate live-cell imaging into your lab automation system The open design of the CytoSMART Omni FL facilitates its incorporation into existing (non-)automated workflows and protocols. The incorporation of a live-cell imaging module not only increases the range of output measurements, but also the efficiency and reproducibility of a scientific study.
