Applications of ImageXpress Pico Automated Cell Imaging System

The CellReporterXpress Automated Image Acquisition and Analysis Software works with the ImageXpress® Pico systems. It has a clean, easy-to-learn interface for performing quantitative analysis on images acquired from automated microscopy. The software enables distributed analysis of images for increased throughput and is ideal for scaling microscopy imaging with slides or microplates. An icon-driven, linear workflow with a range of predefined protocols provides a streamlined user experience.

Analyze during acquisition

Reduce the time to run experiments with our integrated on-the-fly image analysis capability, allowing you to view numeric data during acquisition.
Simplify image analysis

Predefined analysis protocols for label-free and fluorescence imaging provides you with the ability to quickly run common biological assays while still allowing you to create and save your own protocols.
Share and access data from anywhere

The software makes sharing, presenting, and collaborating with peers easier, allowing multiple you to utilize the software simultaneously through browser-based remote access.

Features

Region selection for acquisition

Multiple unique positions within a well or slide can be selected to acquire and analyze only key areas of interest.
Label-free analysis

Automatically identifies objects in brightfield including small round cells, large cells, and beads.
Click-to-find feature

This feature auto calculates object parameters based on user-selected cells of interest, simplifying analysis setup for cell counting and for cellular responses.
Side-by-side cell magnification

Zoom or pan high-resolution images from whole well view down to cell level view. Simultaneously compare images from two wells.
Touch screen capability

Exceptional usability and precise control is built-in whether using a personal computer or a tablet.
Browser-based software

The ImageXpress Pico system can be controlled through a browser with data from any computer on the user’s network via Chrome™ or Safari®.

Apoptosis Analysis

Apoptosis is a process of programmed cell death important to a number of biological processes including embryonic development and normal tissue maintenance. Disruption in the regulation of apoptosis has been implicated in various diseases including cancer. Biochemical events lead to characteristic changes in cell morphology such as cell shrinkage, nuclear fragmentation, chromatin condensation, and mRNA decay, and ultimately cell death. Apoptosis can be initiated via the intrinsic or extrinsic pathways, and both pathways induce cell death by activating caspase enzymes
Cell Counting

Cell counting is fundamental and critical to numerous biological experiments. Assays such as drug compound toxicity, cell proliferation, and inhibition of cell division have a need to assess the number or density of cells in a well. Automated imaging can greatly speed up the cell counting process while reducing manual labor and human errors. Cells can be counted using a variety of methods, such as label-free cell counting under transmitted light or detection of nuclear dye with fluorescent imaging.
