Standardise and Document Cell Culture for Experimental Success
Cell Culture Solutions from Olympus
4 Jul 2016
Standardisation and documentation in cell culture is key to ensuring downstream experimental success. This applies throughout life science and pharma - from cancer research to regenerative medicine. Making this easier for scientists, Olympus provides dedicated cell culture solutions designed for standardising and documenting the workflow including microscopes, cell confluency checker software and cell counters.
Standardise for success
Standardising conditions ensures samples are comparable. When cells are cultured under variable conditions, growth is affected, altering gene expression of cellular functions. Therefore, cell cultures must be routinely checked to assess both health and growth. For complete confidence in cell culture, the Olympus CKX53 microscope with the CKX-CCSW confluency checker software provides a new level of accuracy. With an exclusive proprietary cell counting algorithm, the system quickly creates quantifiable cell growth data enabling scientist to quickly and easily determine when cells require passaging, experimentation or storage. For accurate in-solution cell counts, the
Cell Counter Model R1 uses an innovative liquid lens technology that mimics the way human eyes focus. This delivers accurate and fast counting results for a variety of cell types.
Documentation simplified
Documenting results both provides an accurate picture of cell behaviour over time, and enables traceability for future reference, audits, peer review queries or patent applications. Measurement records can be saved and exported from the CKX-CCSW software as a CSV files for further analysis or archiving, or easily paired with cell culture images for comprehensive recording. The Cell Counter Model R1 also creates an accurate cell count report in just 15 seconds that can be stored and exported for standardising and documentation. Olympus solutions for monitoring cell culturing help simplify analysis for every team member and substantially speed-up lab processes.
