CellPlayer™ Cell Culture Quality Control Assay

8 Jan 2015

IncuCyte is an automated microscope that provides a label-free, non-invasive method of monitoring cells at regular time intervals in their native environment; inside the cell culture incubator. IncuCyte has been developed as a tool that can be used to improve the quality, predictability, and reproducibility of cell-based assays. This application note demonstrates that using IncuCyte to document and monitor routine cell culture can improve cell-based assay quality and consistency.

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.

Lab equipment for light microscopy includes confocal microscopes, fluorescence microscopes, zoom and stereo microscopes. Microscope slides and imaging reagents are available for visualizing samples, as well as various microscope stages and incubators for large or temperature-sensitive samples.
