Confluency Module
Monitor cell confluence to assess proliferation or death in cultures.
Overview
The Confluency Module is designed to measure and monitor cell confluence within culture vessels, providing essential insights into cell growth and death. By calculating the confluency percentage, which is the cell surface area relative to the total area, researchers can effectively assess cell health and proliferation over time.
Key Features
- Simple Workflow: No need to spend time at the microscope. Set up your system to automatically image cultures, offering flexibility to view results at your convenience.
- Automated Analysis: Instantly access results to evaluate cell cultures and generate necessary figures.
- Whole-well Imaging: Ensures an accurate and unbiased overview by tracking the entire culture.
The module uses a preprogrammed overlay mask to highlight the position of cells, enhancing the efficiency of your workflow by generating graphs, images, and timelapses. This approach improves throughput and reproducibility without the need for dyes, labels, or complex procedures.
Benefits
- Utilize label-free analysis to measure cell confluency.
- Properly time cell passaging to maintain cellular phenotype and culture quality.
- Assess cell viability and confluency in response to treatments.
- Receive notifications for optimal cell passaging times.
In related applications, this module aids in tracking cellular growth and provides insights into cell health and behavior, as well as enables real-time tracking of stem cell renewal and differentiation.
