Overview
The Omni Pro 12 platform is designed to simplify and accelerate the acquisition of complex biological data. Using brightfield and fluorescence imaging combined with advanced software tools, the Omni Pro 12 can help you to examine cell health and function non-invasively and in real time.
Software Modules
The Omni Pro 12 has 5 available software modules to match your assay needs:
Cell Confluence – Available in brightfield or fluorescence. Know exactly when to passage your cells or track cell growth and death in your experiments.
Wound healing/Scratch Assay – Investigate the progression of wound closure over time.
Clonogenic Assay - Monitor and quantify cell proliferation and colony formation to study the effects of cytotoxic and immunotherapeutic agents.
Fluorescent Object Count - Quantify fluorescent objects over time and between wells when running fluorescence-based assays.
Organoid Analysis - Identify, track, and analyze organoids across an array of culture vessels using an advanced machine-learning algorithm.

FAQ:
Omni Pro 12 is a high-throughput live-cell imaging platform, consisting of an Omni FL system with integrated 12-plate storage and handling. Samples are illuminated using an LED and recorded with a moving camera positioned below the sample stage. During brightfield acquisition, the camera scans the sample stage and acquires a series of sequential images. One complete brightfield scan generates around 7850 snapshots. These are stitched to form an image with a surface area of 86 mm × 124 mm (3.4’’ × 4.9’’). When acquiring fluorescence images, the users can choose how many snapshots of a defined location within the well they want to record. The images are uploaded to the portal where they can be analyzed using our image analysis algorithms or 3rd party software.
What type of image analysis modules can I use?
The Omni Pro 12 is compatible with the following modules: Confluency Module, Scratch Assay Module, Clonogenic Assay Module, Organoid Analysis Module, and Fluorescent Object Count. Users always have the option to download the raw data and perform their own analysis on 3rd party software.
Can the Omni Pro 12 be used inside a cell culture incubator?
Yes, the Omni Pro 12 is designed to be used inside a cell culture incubator. The hardware and electronics can operate at 5 – 40°C and between 20 – 95% humidity.
What culture vessels are compatible with the Omni Pro 12?
Any transparent microplate (e.g. 6- to 384-well plate) is compatible with the Omni Pro 12.
