What is Cell IQ?

Cell-IQ® is a sophisticated, fully integrated continuous live cell imaging and analysis platform. This platform is designed for various cell studies, offering researchers powerful tools for observing and understanding cellular behavior over time. It is important to note, that the name of the platform is "Cell-IQ®", not "Cell IQ".

Key Features of the Cell-IQ® Platform

The Cell-IQ® platform is used for detailed live cell analysis and includes the following features:

• Live Cell Imaging: Continuously monitors cell cultures, capturing images and data over extended periods.
• Versatile Applications: Suitable for use with:
  • Cell lines
  • Primary cells
  • Co-cultures
  • Monolayer tissue models
• Integrated Analysis: Provides tools to analyze the captured image data, extracting quantitative information about cell behavior, proliferation, and morphology.
• Continuous Monitoring: Enables researchers to track cellular changes in real-time, offering dynamic insights that are not possible with endpoint assays.

Why is it important?

Live-cell imaging provides a more dynamic picture of cell behavior compared to traditional fixed-cell methods. The Cell-IQ® platform’s capacity for continuous observation allows scientists to gather precise data on cell dynamics and responses to different stimuli, which aids in a variety of studies and research goals.

Examples of Usage

• Drug screening: Observe cellular responses to various drugs in real-time.
• Cell migration studies: Track the movement of cells over time.
• Cell growth assays: Monitor cell proliferation rates.
• Toxicology studies: Assess the effects of toxic compounds on cell cultures.

Benefits of using the Cell-IQ® platform

• Detailed Insights: Obtain deep understanding of cell dynamics through continuous observation.
• Efficiency: Automated processes reduce the time and effort required for data acquisition.
• Quantitative Data: Extract measurable data to support research findings.
