Product catalog summary
Introduction
The HoloMonitor® M4 is a non-invasive live cell imaging system designed for long-term analysis of cell cultures within standard incubators. It provides real-time data on cell morphology, migration, and proliferation without the need for labels, making it ideal for various research fields including cancer research and drug discovery.

Technology and Features
The system utilizes quantitative phase imaging, allowing for the visualization and quantification of living cells without compromising their integrity. It employs a digital image sensor and low-power diode illumination to measure light direction changes as it passes through unstained cells. This method avoids the phototoxicity associated with traditional microscopy techniques.

Applications
HoloMonitor® M4 is suitable for a wide range of applications, including single-cell tracking, wound healing assays, and dose-response studies. It supports various cell types, including induced pluripotent stem cells and primary human cell cultures. The system's software, App Suite, facilitates data extraction and analysis, offering user-friendly workflows and the ability to export data for further analysis.

Benefits
The system offers several advantages over traditional methods, such as saving time and resources, eliminating the need for expensive consumables, and providing real-time, label-free analysis. It allows for continuous monitoring of cells within the incubator, ensuring minimal disturbance and enabling further use of imaged cells.

Technical Specifications
The HoloMonitor® M4 features a 20x objective, a lateral resolution of 1 μm, and a field of view of 567 μm × 567 μm. It supports various cell culture vessels and operates within a temperature range of 10-40°C. The system requires a Windows 10 computer with specific hardware specifications for optimal performance.

Conclusion
HoloMonitor® M4 represents a significant advancement in live cell imaging, offering a non-invasive, efficient, and versatile solution for cell analysis. Its ability to provide quantitative data without affecting cell viability makes it a valuable tool for researchers in various scientific fields.

Standard Way vs. HoloMonitor® Way Standard cell culture methods require various instruments, from plate readers to microscopes. Experiments require multiple setups and consumables and most readouts are indirect as label intensities are measured. HoloMonitor®, on the other hand, enables real-time label free and quantitative studies of your cells directly in the incubator. All information is directly obtained by monitoring cells without any phototoxic damage or other disturbances. Incubation start 2 h 6 h 12 h 24 h 48 h 72 h 96 h Time requirement Standard Way A new experiment is required for other...
