zenCELL owl sits inside your existing incubator and images all 24 wells simultaneously — automatically, continuously, without disturbing your culture. See what your cells are doing between your scheduled timepoints.
Most cell biology labs observe their cultures at 2–4 fixed timepoints per experiment. Everything that happens between those points — confluency peaks, morphological changes, differentiation onset, early contamination — is invisible. Continuous in-incubator observation closes that gap.
The onset of differentiation, the moment of peak confluency, the first signs of contamination — all captured automatically, at the exact moment they happen. Not when the schedule allows.
No transport. No temperature drop. No CO₂ disruption. The incubator door stays closed throughout — from seeding to the final timepoint. Physiological conditions, undisturbed.
Confluency percentage, morphology changes, gap closure rate — calculated automatically for every well at every timepoint. Export as CSV for Prism, Excel, or R.
24 independent optical channels image every well simultaneously — not sequentially. No time offset between well 1 and well 24. True parallel data from every experiment.
No staining, no fluorescent labelling, no phototoxicity risk. Brightfield imaging reveals morphology, confluency, and behavior without altering cell physiology — even over 72+ hour experiments.
USB-C connection. Fits any standard incubator shelf. No installation, no gas supply, no dedicated computer required. From unboxing to first image: under 10 minutes.
Any cell that adheres to standard 24-well plates can be continuously observed with zenCELL owl. Brightfield shows morphology, confluency, and dynamic behavior without staining or labelling.
Monitor NGF-induced neurite outgrowth hour by hour. Track initiation, elongation, branching, and retraction continuously — without phototoxic fluorescent excitation over 24–72h.
Continuous wound closure monitoring after scratch assay. Full kinetic curve from T=0 to complete closure — all 24 wells simultaneously, inside the incubator.
Long-term label-free monitoring of endothelial migration and morphology. Validated in peer-reviewed publications for vascular health and wound healing research.
Track collective migration, drug response kinetics, and morphological changes in cancer cell lines. Continuous cytotoxicity monitoring with full temporal resolution.
Monitor colony morphology, spontaneous differentiation, and culture health without disturbing sensitive cultures. Detect early differentiation or stress before it becomes irreversible.
Primary hepatocytes, neurons, cardiomyocytes, and organoid cultures benefit most from in-incubator observation — no transport stress, no handling disruption.
Plate cells in a standard 24-well plate. Place the plate on zenCELL owl inside your incubator. Connect USB-C.
Choose your interval — 1 minute to 1 hour. Start the experiment. Walk away. zenCELL owl does the rest.
View live images and confluency data from any connected computer. Check from outside the lab whenever you want.
Full dataset ready at experiment end. CSV export for Prism, Excel, or R. ImageJ integration included.
Remove plate from incubator. Transport to microscope room. Wait for booking slot. Image 1–3 timepoints. Return plate. Miss everything in between.
Place plate inside incubator. Start experiment. Continuous imaging from seeding to endpoint — all wells, all timepoints, automatically.
