Why live-cell imaging?
Live-cell imaging has revolutionized cell biology research, offering distinct advantages compared to traditional endpoint assays and other conventional cell analysis methods.
Complete, real-time datasets
Measure kinetics and gather insights that endpoint assays miss
Physiologically relevant assays
Assay living cells in optimal conditions with environmental control
Experimental flexibility
Record from nearly any culture vessel, multiplex readouts, and adapt workflows
No complicated steps
Reduce hands-on time and save money with a simple assay
Versatile applications of Lux3
Lux3 software modules provide the tools for fast, accurate analysis and the flexibility to customize the platform to suit your research needs. Monitor growth and death in monolayers or organoids with brightfield imaging or multiplex with fluorescence assays to examine specific mechanisms or markers. Imagine how the Lux3 platform can accelerate your experiments.
Applications
Monitor cultures label-free with brightfield imaging
>> Health and proliferation
Changes in confluency can indicate alterations in cell proliferation, migration, or death. Assess the health and viability of your cells in real time.
>> Migration and wound healing
The dynamic process of cell migration and wound healing can’t be captured in a single time point. A scratch assay tracks the closure of a controlled gap in a confluent cell culture over time and is essential in oncology and regenerative medicine research.
>> Morphology
Cell morphology refers to the study of the size, shape, and structure of cells. Monitor these changes closely to continuously evaluate cell health.
Track dynamic biology with fluorescence imaging
>> Transfection and transduction
Transfection and transduction techniques introduce foreign genetic material into eukaryotic cells. Quantify transfection efficiency using red or green fluorescence channels to optimize your assays.
>> Fluorescence analysis
Fluorescence confluency analysis using live-cell compatible labels enables deep insights into growth dynamics, morphological changes, and responses to treatments.
>> 3D cell cultures
Fluorescence live-cell imaging analysis offers a window into the spatial organization and dynamics of cells within a three-dimensional environment. Generate high-resolution data that enhances our understanding of tissue development and disease progression.
