Solentim Cell Metric Cell Imaging System

• Monitoring cell growth and viability in cell culture.
• Assessing clonality and single-cell isolation workflows.
• Quantifying transfection efficiency and gene editing outcomes.
• Performing toxicology studies and drug screening assays.
• Analysing cell migration and invasion in research settings.

Imaging capability

Typically brightfield, with some models offering fluorescence options.

Sample formats

Commonly accommodates standard microplates (e.g., 6, 12, 24, 96, 384-well) and sometimes T-flasks.

Throughput

For this class of equipment, imaging speed can vary, often several plates per hour depending on resolution and acquisition settings.

Power supply

Typically requires a standard laboratory power supply, commonly 230V, 50Hz for UK operation.

Footprint

Units of this type are designed for benchtop use, requiring a stable surface and access for sample loading.

Software

Integrated software is standard for image acquisition, analysis, and data management.

• What is the primary function of a Solentim Cell Metric system?

  The Solentim Cell Metric system is primarily used for automated, non-invasive imaging and analysis of cells in culture, particularly for monitoring cell growth, confluence, and clonality.

• Can this system be used for single-cell cloning?

• What kind of maintenance does a Cell Metric typically require?

• Is specialist training required to operate this equipment?

• What types of cells can be analysed with this system?

Cell counters are valued for their reliability and precision in laboratory and clinical settings. Buyers typically seek models with proven track records from established manufacturers, prioritising optical quality and calibration accuracy. When purchasing used equipment, inspecting optical components for damage and verifying recent calibration certification are essential. Common strengths include consistent cell count reproducibility, straightforward operation, and good durability across extended service life. Models offering flexible counting parameters and compatible with various cell types tend to hold their value well in the secondary market.
