zenCELLOWL · Workflow
See how zenCELLOWL transforms your cell therapy manufacturing process — from manual spot-checks to continuous, documented oversight.
⚠ Current Standard Process
Day 0
Cells are seeded into flasks or bioreactor after isolation. Initial cell count and viability measured manually at seeding.
⚠ Risk
Baseline only. No documentation of early morphological changes in the first 24–48 h.
Trypan blue exclusion or hemocytometer. Performed at irregular intervals, highly operator-dependent.
Contamination is detected visually — often after it has already spread. Media colour change or turbidity is noticed during a routine check.
By the time it’s detected, hours or days of culture — and potentially the entire batch — are lost. No early warning system.
Data entered manually into paper or spreadsheet batch records. Photos taken ad hoc with smartphone.
⚠ Problems
Continuous, automated, fully documented — inside the incubator, without disruption
Day 0
Cells seeded as normal. zenCELLOWL is already positioned in the incubator — imaging starts automatically at T=0.
First image captured within minutes. Morphology and confluence baseline documented automatically — no manual step required.
zenCELLOWL captures images at defined intervals — every 30 min, 1 h, or custom — without ever opening the incubator door.
Zero temperature or CO₂ disruption. Zero contamination risk from repeated openings. Up to 48× more data points per day vs. manual checks.
Morphological deviations, debris accumulation, or abnormal growth patterns are detected within the first imaging interval after onset.
Every image, timestamp, and analysis result is logged automatically. Exportable batch record with standardised morphology reports and time-lapse data.
