Environment Control Option Operations
The ImageXpress
®
Environment Control option is designed to maintain an
environment for living cells to enable multi-day live-cell timelapse
imaging. Temperature, carbon dioxide, and humidity can all be
maintained within the sample plate so that cells can be kept alive for
many days, growing at a rate comparable to that expected in a standard
cell culture incubator. In addition to offering kinetic and timelapse
imaging capabilities, the environmental enclosure can accommodate a
single-channel fluidics robot for delivering compounds during
experimentation.
The ImageXpress Environment Control option can be installed together
with either the Fluidics option or the Transmitted Light option.
