Multilayer culture monitoring system
Use brightfield time-lapse imaging to monitor the bottom layer of a culture vessel with up to ten layers.
Technical summary with specifications and configuration choices.
Features
- Observe cells at the bottom layer while a multilayer vessel remains in the incubator.
- Schedule multiple imaging positions and assemble time-lapse videos.
- Use confluence and growth-curve analysis to support harvest timing.
