Label-free microscopy with high image quality CytoSMART® Lux3 BR

Improve your research with high-quality live-cell imaging Live-cell imaging allows researchers to determine not only whether, but also how and when certain biological events occur in cell culture. In order to achieve the high image quality standards required for data analysis and publications, live-cell imaging is performed predominantly using a microscope with a stage top incubation box. However, the culture conditions in the incubation box are more prone to fluctuations, as compared to a dedicated cell culture incubator. Using the CytoSMART® Lux3 BR, it is no longer necessary to choose...

Incubator-friendly live-cell imaging Live-cell imaging has become increasingly valuable in the fields of cancer research, drug discovery, immunology, tissue engineering, stem cell research, and 3D cell culture models. Various experimental applications, including cell viability and cell differentiation monitoring, spheroid and organoid characterization, microfluidic chip platforms, cell morphology analysis, single-cell tracking, and angiogenesis monitoring can benefit from detailed kinetic visualization. The cell culture environment inside a stage top incubation box is generally sub-optimal...

Digital images suitable for scientific publications Easy to expand to a multiple-device setup The CytoSMART® Lux3 BR is ideal for capturing crisp brightfield images and videos of living cells. The image size of 2072×2072 pixels combined with the 1.45×1.45 mm field of view provide a resolution of 0.7 µm/pixel. A setup with the CytoSMART® Lux3 BR can be easily expanded to two or even four devices that can be operated and controlled individually via a single laptop. Since all devices of the CytoSMART® Lux3 BR Duo Kit or Multi Lux3 BR can be placed directly next to each other in the same...

Remote and automated analysis of cell cultures The CytoSMART® Lux3 BR can be set to record images at specific intervals (between 5 min - 12 h) for minutes, hours and days. In fact, it is one of the few systems that can run for weeks. Images and videos of running or completed experiments can be accessed, processed, and analyzed from any desired location using the CytoSMART® Cloud-based environment. Therefore, cells can be monitored without having to open the incubator, or even be in the lab. The integrated cloud-based image analysis facilitates quantification of output parameters, such as...
