ImageXpress Pico Personal High Content Imaging System

ImageXpress Pico Personal High Content Imaging System

The fully automated ImageXpress Pico system can help you get rid of the lengthy and complex manual operation process of microscopes. Simply place the sample into the system, follow the software's visualization buttons, and follow the workflow step by step for image acquisition and analysis. The system software integrates over 25 analysis schemes, ranging from simple cell counting to complex axonal analysis. The software can automatically and quickly optimize parameters without the need for repeated debugging. The obtained analysis results can be displayed in various visual forms, including heat maps, scatter plots, tables, bar charts, and videos.

The ImageXpress Pico system is a closed, desktop level platform that can be easily installed in any laboratory. Based on browser based operating software, you can operate instruments anywhere through the internet. Of course, you can easily enjoy the convenient experience of automated image acquisition and analysis outside the laboratory.

From software controlled objectives and color filters, to integrated white light and color imaging, as well as environmental control systems and injector functions, the ImageXpress Pico system has a high degree of flexibility to meet your different experimental needs. The intelligent system can be used in any laboratory, generating various data that can be directly used for publishing articles according to your needs with just a few clicks of the mouse.

main features

Adopting optimized pre-defined image acquisition and analysis modules greatly reduces the difficulty and time of experimental setup, making it convenient to quickly obtain accurate experimental results.

●For the cell characteristic data obtained from analysis, various analysis charts such as heatmaps, scatter plots, and bar charts can be generated by simply clicking the mouse.

●Combining over 30 years of experience in automatic imaging from Molecular Devices, it features a highly integrated, compact, and multifunctional imaging system.

●Environmental control, controlling CO2, O2, and humidity, conducting live cell experiments under optimal cellular conditions.

●Z-stack imaging produces clear images with greater depth of field. Obtain a series of images with different focal points to capture more details than a single slice.

●LEDs and filter modules, Cy5, TRITC, FITC, DAPI, Texas Red, CFP, White light, as well as RGB, always have a channel suitable for your experiment.

●Double label expression analysis can achieve multi wavelength cell classification and meet the requirements of multi parameter cell analysis experiments.

application area

The automatic microscopy system can easily achieve imaging and biological analysis of low-density cells and tissues in well plates, including angiogenesis, apoptosis, autophagy, cell counting, label free cell counting, cell differentiation, endocytosis, mitotic index, lysosome detection, mitochondrial detection, neural process tracking, protein expression index, viral infection, etc.

Experimental examples

Unlabeled cell proliferation detection

For low-density cells grown in porous plates, no staining treatment is performed, and direct imaging is performed. The "cell counting transmitted light" module is used for cell counting, and the number of cells at multiple time points is calculated to create a time cell number curve, also known as a proliferation curve. This method causes no damage to cells, is easy to operate, saves costs, and records the most authentic cell proliferation situation.
