xCELLigence RTCA DP

Agilent TechnologiesAvailable: Worldwide

The Agilent xCELLigence Real-Time Cell Analysis (RTCA) DP (dual purpose) instrument continuously measures cell invasion and migration (CIM) and monitors cell health, behavior, and function using label-free cellular impedance. The three cradles of the DP instrument enable three separate electronic 16-well plates to be controlled and monitored in parallel or independently of one another. This flexible plate batch processing a…

A gold standard for real time measure of cytotoxicity against adherent cells.

 

Average Rating 3.7

Application Area:

Antitumoral cell immunotherapy

Nice and easy real time machine to define cytotoxicity anti-adherent tumoral cells

Review Date: 25 Jun 2021 | Agilent Technologies

I will recommend to everyone.

 

Average Rating 3.7

Application Area:

Drug discovery

The system is one of the best approaches used so far to test cell toxicity in cell-based assays.

Review Date: 10 Feb 2020 | Agilent Technologies

Excellent piece of kit for quick cell anaylsis.

 

Average Rating 5.0

Application Area:

Real time cell analysis of adherent cells

Really easy to use and export experiments. Good variety of plates- eg cytoview, migration can be used for lots of applications - cell viability, morphology ect.

Review Date: 22 Nov 2019 | Agilent Technologies

An instrument with great potential.

 

Average Rating 4.7

Application Area:

Cells migration/invasion assay, cytotoxicity, cells adherence and proliferation assays etc.

The machine is easy to use with a very well written manual and comes with a user friendly software. The results I obtained from my experiments on the RTCA DP system were interesting and as expected. I would recommend it for cellular biology assays.

This machine is Awesome. Use it daily.

 

Average Rating 5.0

Application Area:

Real time label free cellular analyses

xCELLigence is incredible. So easy to use. Very user friendly. It also can be used for almost ANY cell type: unlike other systems it does not require intact monolayers. Also, something like 70% of the well is electrode, making it incredibly sensitive to even small fluctuations.

Easy to use and produces good data!

 

Average Rating 4.3

Application Area:

Analyze the effect of drug substance on cell proliferation

The xCELLigence system has been a huge asset to our lab. It is great to be able to monitor our cells and gather data in real time instead of end point assays. It gives us a better understanding of how the cells are behaving and greater insight into our research.

Review Date: 31 Jul 2018 | Agilent Technologies

Excellent investment with reliable results.

 

Average Rating 4.0

Application Area:

Cell Poliferation

This is one of the best and highly sensitive instrument for cell proliferation assays. We use this instrument a lot. The ease of setting up the assay and watch the resulting graphs without having to do anything for days together is simply awesome. Unlike end-point assays this continuous monitoring of cell growth/death gives a better understanding of the biological process. The highlight of this instrument is its small and does not take up the whole incubator space. The software used is also very user friendly and setting up the assay does not take more than couple of minutes. The only downside of this instrument is the cost of the plates used.

Never had problems, perfect results!

 

Average Rating 5.0

Application Area:

Analyse cell responses of primary human nasal epithelial cells

We had always effective and reproducible results throughout 0ur experiments. We never had device problems. xCELLigence RTCA DP is very easy to use and easy to clean. After sales care was good and the device is for sure worth the money.

Great device, annoying software

 

Average Rating 3.7

Application Area:

Proliferation and migration assays with cultures cells

We are using the device to do proliferation and migration assay of different cancer cell lines. The device is easy to handle. Although, I don't like the software of the Xcelligence. Espacially that you can't safe the data analysis part and also that you always have to click newly what you want to see on the screen, when you open a new file. Most of our results are reproducable. Sometimes I find it difficult to interpret the results. Therefore, I would find it cool when there would be some kind of forum where users could discuss their problems and exchange tipps and tricks. Otherwise the support from the OLS in Basel is very good, they always answer our questions fast and detailed.

One of the best additions to my lab in the last decade

 

Average Rating 5.0

Application Area:

cell adhesion, proliferation and barrier function

This system is frankly brilliant. The interface is wonderfully user friendly, and the data incredibly reproducible. Great value for money, and easy to use. This system works really well also with cells that do not form monolayers, making it much more than just an ECIS system.

The Agilent xCELLigence Real-Time Cell Analysis (RTCA) DP (dual purpose) instrument continuously measures cell invasion and migration (CIM) and monitors cell health, behavior, and function using label-free cellular impedance.

The three cradles of the DP instrument enable three separate electronic 16-well plates to be controlled and monitored in parallel or independently of one another. This flexible plate batch processing allows maximum productivity for multiple users. The instrument operates in a standard CO2 cell culture incubator and the control unit is housed outside the incubator.

Online data acquisition and offline data analysis are easy to perform using RTCA Software Pro, which also supports FDA 21 CFR Part 11 compliance.
