Automatic Calculation of HeLa Cell Culture Confluency
20 Jan 2017Cell confluency is a key parameter for all cell biologists as it is the beginning of all other cell culture experiments. Learn how the InCellis® Smart Cell Imaging System from Bertin Technologies incorporates a dedicated application that can automatically calculate the cell confluency for rapid and efficient quality control of the viability of your cell line before use in transfection, cell-based assays or any other cellular analysis.

Cell / Tissue CultureCell culture or tissue culture is used to study the biology of cells or tissues and to isolate cellular products in an environment which can be manipulated and well defined. Accurately control your culture environment with bioreactors or culture incubators, bind your cells to a surface or together with an extracellular matrix. Distinguish cell types with differential media or proliferate cells with certain characteristics using selective media. Enrich your media with supplements such as growth factors, sera and vitamins.

Other cell analysis equipment includes image cytometers, cell counters, fluorescence-activated cell sorters (FACS), magnetic-activated cell sorters (MACS), and a range of flow cytometry assay kits. Flow cytometers can reveal information on cell viability, cell proliferation, apoptosis and cell cycle progression, as well as identify cell populations and intracellular or cell-surface molecules. Additionally, some flow cytometers, known as FACS, have an additional sorting function after analysis. Cell counters and image cytometers count live and dead cell populations and can also conduct cell proliferation assays.
