New developments in live-cell analysis: The Agilent xCELLigence RTCA eSight System

22 Feb 2022

As cell analysis in basic research, translational medicine, and cell therapies becomes ever more sophisticated, it is imperative that solutions provide multiparametric and data-rich information. In this application note, Agilent Technologies introduces its xCELLigence RTCA eSight for real-time cell analysis, featuring non-invasive impedance-based monitoring together with live-cell imaging, all inside your incubator. One experiment provides two simultaneous methods with 5 different readouts. Cellular impedance first provides sensitive and rapid information about cell viability, growth, morphology, and barrier function. Brightfield and three fluorescent channels monitor and quantify viability, toxicity, and apoptosis- validating cellular impedance readouts and further boosting confidence in your results. This combination of information enables for much wider sampling and the assessment of cellular processes and biology – all within a single experiment.

xCELLigence RTCA SP
Agilent Technologies
The Agilent xCELLigence Real-Time Cell Analysis (RTCA) SP instrument uses label-free cellular impedance to continuously monitor cell health, behavior, and function with high accuracy, sensitivity, and reproducibility. The SP model can run a 96-well electronic microplate (E-Plate 96), which is ideal for cell health characterization, immune cell-mediated killing, viral cytopathic effects, cytotoxicity, cell adhesion, cell barrier function (TEER), cell signaling (e.g., GPCR) and other related applications. The instrument operates in a standard CO2 cell culture incubator and the control unit is housed outside the incubator. Simply plate cells and begin monitoring cell behavior to obtain real-time kinetic data for assay windows that stretch from seconds to days. Online data acquisition and offline data analysis are easy to perform using RTCA Software Pro, which also supports FDA 21 CFR Part 11 compliance. For Research Use Only. Not for use in diagnostic procedures.

xCELLigence RTCA Cardio
Agilent Technologies
The xCELLigence RTCA Cardio instrument monitors cardiomyocyte activity for cardiotoxicity assessment. The contraction-relaxation cycle of cardiomyocytes gives rise to a distinct, rhythmic fluctuation in impedance that is readily captured on the millisecond time scale. Changes in the intensity and periodicity in impedance are monitored in seconds or in days to assess cardiomyocyte contractility and viability in the presence of various drugs. The xCELLigence RTCA Cardio instrument, which analyzes cells in an electronic 96-well microtiter plate format (E-Plate Cardio 96), is placed in a standard CO2 cell culture incubator and interfaces via a cable with analysis and control units that are housed outside the incubator. User friendly software allows for real-time control and monitoring of the instrument. For Research Use Only. Not for use in diagnostic procedures.

xCELLigence RTCA CardioECR
Agilent Technologies
The xCELLigence RTCA CardioECR instrument combines high-frequency measurement of cell-induced electrical impedance with multi-electrode array technology to simultaneously assess cardiomyocyte contractility, viability, and electrophysiology. The simultaneous recording of impedance and field potential by the xCELLigence RTCA CardioECR instrument provides a view of cardiomyocyte health at an unprecedented level of detail, enabling a deeper understanding of the mechanisms underlying drug-induced cardiac liability. The CardioECR can also be used to functionally mature hiPSC cardiomyocytes with its electronic pacing function. Paced hiPSC cardiomyocytes provide a significantly improved cell model used in various applications including safety/tox assessment, drug discovery, and cardiac disease research. For Research Use Only. Not for use in diagnostic procedures.
