Features of CellInsight™ CX5

Features of the CellInsight CX5 HCS Platform   

  • Easy to Use—quickly build and optimize image-based assays with included Thermo Scientific™ HCS Studio™ Cell Analysis Software   * Flexible—designed to work with or without fluorescent labeling: The CellInsight CX5 HCS Platform can use transmitted light, as well as fluorescence, to allow users to focus on visible and/or fluorescent targets   * Affordable—automated high content imaging for all budgets   * High quality optics—Light sources, lenses, filters, and CCD detector from the top names in imaging. The five color light engine insures accuracy and stability of source lighting.   * Virtually maintenance–free operation due to state-of-the-art design and construction.   * Performance—scan and analyze a 96-well plate in under four minutes   * Compact—fits on a bench and is less than 2 ft. on all sides   

    Capabilities:       * Make intracellular to multicellular morphology measurements while measuring intensity of specific reporter molecules.   * Collect only the images and data you select and make multiple measurements per object, over time, if desired   * Measure subpopulations and reject undesired objects automatically   * Comprehensive pre-validated and user configurable image analysis without user scripting or programming   * Exploratory assay development tools and specific biology optimized tools built into the HCS Studio™ Cell Analysis Software   * Define biological thresholds for outputs based on control populations   * Ability to create multi-parameter gates from individual output measurements   

    Hardware and Software:       * Stable, reliable light source reduces variability, increases data quality, and decreases operating costs   * Fluorescence options which include near-IR wavelength and compatibility with many common fluorochromes and fluorescent proteins   * Proprietary Thermo Scientific™ AccuFocus™ System is fast, yet flexible, for imaging cells, organelles, and low contrast targets   * Unique intelligent acQuisition (iQ) real time analysis feedback to optimize image collection and data quality   * HCS Studio Cell Analysis Software is an integrated instrument control, visualization and analysis software package for novice to advanced users   * Features Thermo Scientific™ Store Express Image and Database Software using a 10GB SQL™ database   * Software output features image/data portability so results can be imported into third-party software for documentation   * Compatible with SBS standard microplates (6-1536 well) and slides   

    Compatible with Thermo Scientific™ Orbitor RS Plate Mover and other Thermo Scientific™ Laboratory Automation Solutions
