New Fluorescence Live-cell Imaging Microscope Launched

CytoSMART技术公司宣布了其首款荧光活细胞成像仪。CytoSMART Lux3 FL是一种小型活细胞成像显微镜，配有一个亮场和两个荧光通道(绿色和红色)。该设备使研究人员能够实时解开细胞过程，同时细胞被保存在一个标准的细胞培养箱内的受控环境中。CytoSMART的首个荧光活细胞成像仪允许用户通过拍摄高质量的图像来创建实时延时电影，从而跟踪高特异性的动态细胞过程。

Jan-Willem van Bree, CTO at CytoSMART Technologies, said: "Currently, fluorescent labelling is mostly used as an end-point measurement. However, time-lapse imaging of live cells can give much more information about biological processes. By using automated imaging at regular time intervals, the temporal resolution of the fluorescent data is increased, leading to even more relevant data about the cellular processes. In this way, researchers can not only determine if a certain process has occurred, but also when it occurred and at what speed. Our customers have been asking us to develop a small and easy-to-use microscope with integrated image analysis of bright-field and fluorescence data. We have listened and made it happen."

The main features and benefits of the CytoSMART Lux3 FL include: integrated image analysis of bright-field and fluorescence area or fluorescence object count; time lapse movies to investigate the development of cellular processes; expanded number of variables researchers can analyse in their cell culture using green and red fluorescence; remote data accessibility via the CytoSMART Cloud with a smartphone, tablet, or laptop outside the lab; portable, easy-to-use and incubator friendly live-cell imager.
