zenCELL Owl

The owl from zenCELL is a compact 24 channel brightfield microscope for incubator or workstation use, allowing the automated remote monitoring of cell cultures

 

Automated Monitoring

zenCELL owl allows you to setup your experiment and walk away. Monitor your cell cultures from anywhere without needing to open the incubator or even go into the lab

Save Valuable Incubator Space

Easily move or remove the 18 x 10.5 x 18 cm and 1.05 kg system. Takes minimal space inside your workstation or incubator, allowing maximum space for cell growth

Leave cells where they belong

Your cell cultures and the zenCELL owl remain in the incubator during the whole experiment. Carry out long term imaging without the need for manual interventions. Obtain more relevant data by avoiding changes in environmental conditions, and lower the risk of contamination

24 Independent Cameras

Monitor each well of a 24 well plate in parallel, allowing you to compare individual wells at the same time, increasing the validity and reproducibility of your data

Long Term Capture

Cell confluence and photos are recorded 24/7 over the long term, with a minimum interval of 10 minutes. Never miss a data point due to real-time continuous monitoring. High quality brightfield imaging with the ability to create time-lapse videos

Remove the Subjectivity

Algorithms evaluate confluence and estimate relative cell numbers objectively. Create reproducible and reliable results without the need for user interpretation. Compare mean and standard deviations of individually selected wells

Easy to maintain

Easy to clean and disinfect, with no mechanical parts or rust-prone screws
