INCYTON® is a privately financed spinoff company of HP Medizintechnik GmbH, a manufacturer of laboratory devices and steam sterilizers. In close collaboration with the chair for biomedical electronics under leadership of Prof. Dr. B. Wolf (TU München) HP Medizintechnik GmbH has conducted several research projects to dive into the idea of enabling the scientific community with continuously observation and simultaneously measuring of key parameters of cellular changes. Back in 2007 our founder Dr.-Ing. H. Herz and Prof. Dr. B. Wolf initiated the basic outlines of our understanding how cells should be investigated, creating the device IMR (Intelligent Microplate Reader), the first version of the INCYTON® platforms. Over ten years of hard development and proof-of-concept work later, we can now base our knowledge on several high impact bachelor, master and PhD theses as well as three successful publicly funded research projects.
CYRIS monitors and analyzes several key cellular parameters in real-time and label-free. Cell viability, metabolism, and morphology can be screened in a fully automated and atmosphere-controlled environment. The incubator integrated solution measures oxygen, pH, and cellular impedance in a multiwell plate and makes through a digital inverse microscope phase-contrast like live-cell images.
