Description and Applications

The IncuCyte S3 from Essen Bioscience automatically acquires and analyzes images of cell cultures inside an incubator. The stage accommodates up to six multi-well plates, which are scanned automatically according to the investigator-defined schedule. The IncuCyte enables real-time monitoring of a variety of live cell assays including viability, differentiation, proliferation, migration, invasion, neurite outgrowth and a wide range of phenotypic cell-based assays. The IncuCyte is installed in a standard 3110 Thermo cell culture incubator and is equipped with 4x/10x/20x objectives and green and red fluorescent filters.

At ANTEC, IncuCyte users have access to a fully equipped cell culture facility and refrigerator/freezer storage space. Users are required to bring their own supplies and small equipment (pipettes).
