THE LAB-ON-CHIP PLATFORM

CELLviewer

FEATURING OPTICS, ELECTRONICS AND MICROFLUIDICS, THE SYSTEM
ISOLATES, CULTURES AND ANALYZES SINGLE SAMPLES IN SUSPENSION
WITH TIME-LAPSE HIGH CONTENT EPIFLUORESCENCE MICROSCOPY

The microfluidic system gently controls cell stabilization for imaging purposes and permits medium change and drugs dosing to sample.
By combining fluorescence time-lapse imaging, automated focal adjustment, culture media control technologies, these operations can be performed with minimal stress for the cells. This allows identifying and studying cellular responses to external stimuli, getting valuable insights on dynamic biological processes at cellular and multicellular level. These features provide perfect experimental conditions and make CELLviewer the perfect tool to perform protocols using suspensions of single cells or single multicellular preparations for a wide range of applications: from basic life science researc to pharmaceutical in-vitro testing.

      A NEW APPROACH IN LIVE CELL IMAGING

      A tremendous need to reproduce to best portrait of in vivo condition is worldwide recognized.

      Through microfluidic isolation process, it is possible to study biological phenomena at single cell level, thus investigating how cell heterogeneity can affect biological process outcomes.

      CELLviewer platform extends the capabilities of a typical inverted microscope for live cell imaging, adding the potential to culture and finely analyze spheroids 3D biological models, automatically.

      AUTOMATED WORKFLOW, REPRODUCIBLE RESULTS

      Make inter-operators and inter-labs results comparable and reliable.

      Generating reliable and reproducible data in a timely fashion in biomedical research has become a big issue.

      More than 70% of researchers have tried and failed to reproduce another scientist's experiments, and more than half have failed to reproduce their own experiments. Those are some of the telling figures that emerged from Nature's survey of 1,576 researchers who took a brief online questionnaire on reproducibility in research. Automation can address many of these challenges, elevating data reproducibility and robustness, and at the same time increasing the efficiency of your research.

      CELLviewer automatically executes custom protocols thus reducing error-prone manual steps and resetting hands-on operator time.

      IMAGING SETUP

      LOW SAMPLE PHOTODAMAGE
      LED-based illumination and agile mechanical swithces.
      LED stroboscopic light source consistently reduces sample photodamage. High speed acquisition is achieved through motorized mechanical slide moving excitation filters and with multiband beamsplitter and emission filter that reduce the number of mechanical switches required. A mechanical revolver allows to quickly replace 20X with 40X magnification objective.
      FLUIDIC ADAPTIVE FOCUSING
      A new principle for long-term tracking and imaging of cells suspension at single unit level.
      During prolonged time-lapse acquisitons, cell suspensions float in culture medium and drift from focus position. CELLviewer hybrid tehnology keeps the sample focused in the middle of analysis chamber for all experiment time only through microfluidics. No physical support is required and non adherent culture condition is mantained.
      2 OPTICS WORKING TOGETHER.
      2.5X – 20X – 40X MAGNIFICATIONS.
      Two optics, vertical and horizontal working together to acquire all 3D spatial sample informations. High resolution imaging is performed on horizontal fluorescence setup with 20x or 40x magnification objectives that can be quickly changed with a mechanical revolver. These features add the potentiality to study and analyze the sample at different custom levels of resolution and detail.
      LOW SAMPLE PHOTODAMAGE
      5 separated channels with reduced spectral crosstalk.
      Fluorescence filter penta-band set is designed for imaging of a sample simultaneously labeled with DAPI, FITC, TRITC, Cy5, and Cy7 (or other key fluorophores – see Tech note below). Single band excitation filters for 5 physically separated channels decrease fluorescence crosstalk.
      INNOVATIVE 3D IMAGING
      360° degree sample rotation microfluidics only managed
      CELLviewer provides a complementary approach to confocal microscopy. Physical 3D imaging with sample Z-axis autorotation is managed by microfluidics and allows to create 360° degree scan the whole sample surface with reduced scanning time.
      HIGH SPEED ACQUISITON, TOP QUALITY
      Up to 30 frames/s in full resolution.
      Camera has a quantum efficiency of 82% and a resolution of 4.0 megapixels. A cooling element built-in enables the acquisition of high quality images for longer exposure. Maxium frame rate up to 25.655 frames/s
