Automate routine applications

Let zenCELL owl record and analyze your cell cultures: Just set up the experiment and walk away. Check your cell cultures and data analyses anytime from anywhere without going into the lab. Save time for other tasks.

Perform long term measurements over time periods of a few hours up to many days.

Stay flexible & save space

Quickly move or remove the only 18 x 10.5 x 18 cm and 1.05 kg device and leave enough space for other vessels – or further zenCELL owl devices. Benefit from easy cleaning and disinfection and a low-maintenance due to absence of mechanical parts or rust-prone screws. Just plug in the cable, start the intuitive software and get started. No cable clutter in incubator and lab.

Culture with lower cell count reaches confluence of 70%

Don't miss the smallest detail​

Cell confluence and photos are recorded with a minimum interval of 10 min. 24/7 long term measurement and automated data acquisition increase the validity of your assay by rising the number of tracked and analyzed data points.
You never miss a data point due to real-time continuous monitoring. Zoom down to cell level, capture high quality photos or create time-lapse videos. Track and analyze data time-resolved. Analyze dynamic chances and developments of your cell culture retrospectively and in detail.

Well History

Let the software do your job

Algorithms evaluate the confluence of each picture and estimate changes in the relative cell number objectively and in real time. This creates consistent, reproducible and reliable results with no subjective scope of interpretation. Compare mean values and standard deviations of individually selected wells.

Leave your cells where they belong - in the incubator

Your cell cultures and zenCELL owl can remain in the incubator during the complete experiment. Active user interventions are avoided, e.g. for manual microscopy. This prevents fluctuations of the environmental conditions like temperature and CO₂ and lowers the risk of contamination. Measurement results can be clearly traced back to the behavior of the cells at optimal culture conditions. Special settings such as hypoxia can be tested as experiments can be performed under defined conditions.

Applications

Open new possibilities

Live cell imaging and automatic calculation of cell confluence with zenCELL owl can be used for a wide range of basic and routine applications. Adapt it to solve your individual issues concerning your specific application.

What an incubator microscope must be good at:

An incubator microscope is a useful tool to simplify your daily routine analysis. But there are some relevant requirements that an incubator microscope should fulfill to be a useful tool:
  • Good quality of photos and analyzed data.
  • Device should leave enough space in your incubator.
  • Easy to put into and remove from the incubator.
  • Easy to clean and disinfect.
  • Installed and started in a simple way.
