FluidScopeTM scanning technology
oCelloScope is based on a unique optical scanning technology FluidScopeTM combining optical techniques such as phase contrast, brightfield and confocal-like microscopy. Together with advanced image processing algorithms, the FluidScopeTM technology provides:- Fast scanning of a volume in the sample
- Greater freedom of operation with multiple Z-layers acquired simultaneously
- Detailed 3D information at a single cell level
- Requires no pre-treatment, staining or additional reagents
Applications
oCelloScope is used for several applications within real-time cell monitoring. Spore germentation, Cell morphology, Cell proliferation & migration, Antimicrobial Suseptibility Testing & Growth Kinetics.- Microbiology research
- Antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST)/MIC determination
- Automated monitoring and analysis of fungal growth
- Real-time monitoring of morphological plasticity
- Drug development
oCelloScope – 250 times more sensitive than standard OD plate reader
oCelloScope’s enhanced imaging technology provides greater operational flexibility at both high and low concentrations which helps you to detect the early stages of microbial growth. With the built-in image analysis algorithms, a factor of 250 times greater sensitivity can be achieved with oCelloScope compared to OD.A comparison study between the Thermo-Fisher Scientific VarioSkan plate reader and oCelloScope have been made, measuring the growth of E. coli every 15 min. The minimum detection limit of the OD measurement was 2·106 CFU/ml. In contrast, with a start inoculum of 103 CFU/ml, our algorithm detects the bacterial growth after 45 min, corresponding to 8·103 CFU/ml, a factor of 250 times greater sensitivity than the minimum detection limit obtained by the VarioSkan plate reader.
