Visualize the Growth Potential of your Cells with Live-Cell Imaging
Cell proliferation is characterized by cell growth and division, resulting in an exponential increase in total cell number and tissue growth. Various environmental factors (e.g., temperature, pH levels, chemical or infectious agents) can either promote or inhibit cell proliferation, and the study of these factors represents an important area of drug discovery and in vitro cell biology research. The intuitive Cell Confluence Module for the Omni platforms makes it easy to track and analyze cell proliferation in real time.
Monitor and Quantify Cell Proliferation in Brightfield and Fluorescence
Cell proliferation can be used to evaluate normal cell health, to study growth and development of cancer cells, or to measure the effectiveness of cytotoxic agents. The Cell Confluence Module for the Omni and Lux devices, tracks and quantifies cell growth automatically using image analysis.
Here, C6 glioma cells were imaged for 5 days (120 hours) using live-cell imaging platform. A proliferation curve was automatically generated by the Cell Confluence Module. Over the period of 5 days, the culture progresses to the exponential growth phase, until a plateau is reached at nearly 100% coverage and growth is halted.
Improve Accuracy Using Whole-Well Analysis of Cell Confluence
Cells don’t always plate evenly. Omni can image the entire plate calculating confluence across the entire well.
In this example, JnHEK cells were monitored over a 48-hour period. The confluence mask(green overlay) is generated automatically to highlight the position of cells, as detected by the Cell Confluence Module.
