Same incubator-ready brightfield imaging as the Cell-Logger Mini – with integrated AI cell counting, free ImageJ integration, and a wider field of view. No proprietary software required.
Cell-Logger Mini is a capable compact incubator imager. But three key gaps push labs to look for alternatives.
Cell-Logger Mini's standard Normal mode captures only 1.25MP. Its High mode reaches 5MP – but larger files slow down long timelapse runs. zenCELL owl delivers 5MP as standard in every capture, with no mode switching required.
Cell-Logger Mini's software includes image capture and a ruler tool – but no AI-based cell counting or confluence analysis. zenCELL owl includes machine learning cell counting out of the box, at no extra cost.
Cell-Logger Mini uses a closed software ecosystem. zenCELL owl exports TIFF, JPEG, PNG and CSV – fully compatible with ImageJ and any open-source analysis pipeline. Your data, your pipeline.
Una comparación honesta, especificación por especificación. Sin lenguaje de marketing, solo los números.
zenCELL owl doesn't cut corners to hit a lower price point. It genuinely outperforms Cell-Logger Mini on several key specs.
Machine learning algorithms calculate confluence and cell number in real time. Customizable for HeLa, MCF7, CHO, HEK293 and more. Not available in Cell-Logger Mini.
No vendor lock-in. Export to JPEG, PNG, TIFF and CSV – fully compatible with ImageJ. Cell-Logger Mini uses a closed software ecosystem only.
5MP in every capture. No "Normal vs. High mode" trade-off – consistent quality across your entire timelapse run vs. 1.25MP Normal mode on Cell-Logger Mini.
Full XYZ axis navigation. Multiple imaging points per well, compatible with 6-, 24-, 96- and 384-well plates. Same well-plate coverage as Cell-Logger Mini.
180×180×105mm, 1.5kg. Fits on any incubator shelf or HypOxystation. A single USB-C cable is all you need – run multiple units in parallel across conditions.
Supervisa tus células desde tu PC durante todo el día. Timelapse continuo de hasta 2 semanas, sin necesidad de entrar al laboratorio ni interrumpir tus cultivos.
"zenCELL owl ha sido de gran ayuda para nuestros proyectos de investigación: imágenes de lapso de tiempo de varios fenotipos celulares en 2D y 3D sin necesidad de abrir la puerta de la incubadora."
"Monitoreamos nuestras células PC12 constantemente y revisamos su rendimiento cada vez. Fiable, reproducible y el precio hizo posible equipar múltiples incubadoras."
"Los ensayos de cicatrización de heridas se pueden monitorizar de forma tan rápida y constante. Con pequeños ajustes se puede reducir enormemente el tiempo de análisis."
