Integrated Cell Culture Observation Device
BioStation CT cell culture observation and monitoring system allows users with minimal microscopy experience to conduct live cell imaging locally or by remote operation over a public or private network. The system facilitates managing, observing and recording cell growth, morphology and protein expression in culture by providing consistent environmental control of temperature, humidity and gas concentration. Numerous researchers can perform multiple experiments with the same instrument within the same period. Applications for the Nikon BioStation CT include clinical medicine where researchers can determine the optimum selection of anticancer drug combinations; re-generative medicine for stem cell culturing and cell differentiation; biotechnology based drug development and toxicology studies; drug discovery safety testing; biotechnology research involving genome and proteome initiatives; and traditional bioscience research using multi-channel fluorescence and time lapse image recording. A high performance cooled scientific grade CCD digital imaging camera is incorporated to provide time-lapse multi-channel image sequences, which are easily added to a database for review and analysis even during a continuing experiment. The unit’s optical system delivers high resolution images with magnifications of 2×, 4×, 10×, 20×, and 40× with phase contrast and up to two fluorescent channels.
