Automated, Label-free Growth Tracking and Culture Management Within Flasks and Multi-well Plates

The Celigo™ cytometer from Brooks Life Science Systems is a bench-top, brightfield and fluorescent imaging system capable of identifying and counting adherent and non-adherent cells within standard culture vessels. The Growth Tracking application automatically integrates label-free cell counts of the same well/flask from different time points to provide direct measurement of growth rates and doubling times, which is also a good overall assessment of cell health. This application note demonstrates the cell counting capability of Celigo and presents relevant case studies.
