Solentim highlighted the advanced capabilities of its leading cell imaging and analysis
instrument, Cell Metric
TM, at the 22
nd ESACT conference.
Engineered to provide a high throughput workflow solution to screen for
colonies from single cell cloning experiments, Cell Metric
TM uses its
proprietary non-image based focussing to find and locate all possible colonies
by imaging the whole well, right up to the edge. The platform provides
complete and accurate cell measurements, without removing the cells from the
culture plate and without addition of stains and dyes. This ensures that
cells are suitable for use in downstream experiments. With the ability to
identify every healthy, viable cell clone from large multiwell screening
projects and to track the visual history of the colonies back to single cells,
the Cell Metric
TM system delivers unparalleled confidence and return on investment.
The proprietary
imaging technology incorporated in the Cell Metric
TM system overcomes the
problems of shadowing and edge effects associated with current imagers.
"Colonies often tend to form around the edge of the wells. Researchers have
told us that they are missing 10-20% of their potentially high-value clones
when using existing technologies" commented Dr Ian Taylor, Solentim Sales and
Marketing. "The Solentim Cell Metric
TM platform is specifically designed to meet
these problems head-on and ensures that these colonies are not missed."
Cell Metric
TM is
programmed to provide real-time, user-defined metrics on the cell number,
confluence or density, colony count and variations in cell morphology,
including viability and mitotic index, and can rapidly process samples in
lidded 6, 12, 24, 96 or 384 well microplates. Linking the Cell Metric
TM
system with a robotic arm and plate stacker provides a complete walk-away
solution, with environmental control for large plate numbers and multi-user
projects, or where longer term growth and kinetic studies are required.
"The Solentim
team has an excellent history and pedigree in developing breakthrough
technologies to automate key biological workflows," continued Dr Taylor. "Cell
Metric
TM will boost efficiency in cloning and developing cell lines and a number
of other applications within the cell culture laboratory. We are now inviting a
select number of researchers, with defined problems for which Cell Metric
TM
could provide their solution, to contact us and join our Early Adopter
Programme."
