Following its acquisition by Fisher Scientific in 2005, Cellomics" cellWoRx high content cell analysis system has been launched by Perbio Science, a European business unit of Fisher Biosciences group.
A 4-colour innovative cellular imaging system, cellWoRx is integrated with powerful image analysis software to assist researchers with drug discovery and the identification of new targets. Capable of analysing a full 384-well plate at 0.9µm per pixel resolution in less than 20 minutes, the cellWoRx system is manufactured by Applied Precision for Cellomics and is integrated with Cellomics" vHCS Analysis Toolbox software, which enables researchers to create assays for new biological applications with protocols that can be easily adjusted to optimise results.
Even higher throughput and volume are possible through various "camera-binning" modes, where the entire imaging path is engineered and optimised by a combination of fixed optics and oblique illumination to provide uniform sample illumination and repeatable, high-resolution images with the superior signal-to-noise ratio and image contrast necessary for high content cellular analysis.
Automated measurement, reporting and data storage functions save development time and improve productivity, while automated analysis makes image-based assays scaleable and robust.
