GE Healthcare has released the IN Cell Analyzer 2000, a flexible cell-imaging system for high-content analysis, with excellent image quality, speed and ease-of-use for screening and research.
The flexibility of the system enables scientists to perform a variety of previously challenging experiments with a single instrument: from investigative microscopy through to automated screening and imaging of organelles, cells, tissues and whole organisms.
The IN Cell Analyzer 2000 combines hardware and software features for fast image-acquisition, making it ideal for screening.
The instrument is robust, (designed using Six Sigma principles) ensuring its reliability for high-throughput use when carrying out demanding applications in a multi-user environment.
The system has many new features, including: rapid preview-scanning of a selected area of a sample at any available magnification prior to starting an acquisition run; high-performance large-chip CCD camera coupled with a widefield illumination source that is twice as bright as a conventional xenon lamp, ensuring more statistically robust results in a single pass; whole-well imaging to capture an entire well in a single image, enhancing the ability to image rare events; wide range of objectives (2 - 100x) to suit a variety of sensitivity requirements; six imaging restoration modes to ensure high-quality images and accurate data with any sample type; fast image-acquisition from slides using preview scan and a new intuitive graphical user interface; and a manual microscope mode, allowing settings to be adjusted and effects assessed in real time.
The IN Cell Analyzer 2000 was developed to address the needs of the entire high-content imaging workflow.
It will be showcased at the SBS 15th Annual Conference and Exhibition.
Customers can also register for several events focusing on high-content analysis at the event, including tutorials, question-and-answer sessions with experts in high-content analysis, and poster sessions.
