What types of assays can this system perform?

This type of system is versatile, supporting a wide range of live-cell assays including proliferation, cytotoxicity, migration, invasion, apoptosis, and neurite outgrowth, all in a non-invasive manner.

Is specialised training required to operate an Incucyte Zoom?

While user-friendly, initial training is typically recommended to fully leverage the system's capabilities, especially for advanced assay setup and data analysis. However, routine operation is generally straightforward.

Can this system be integrated with existing laboratory infrastructure?

Yes, the system is designed to operate within standard tissue culture incubators, making it generally compatible with existing lab setups. The external controller connects via standard interfaces.

What maintenance is typically required for this equipment?

Routine maintenance for this class of equipment typically involves regular cleaning of optical components and the incubator environment, along with periodic software updates and calibration checks. Specifics should be confirmed with the seller.

What are the typical data storage requirements?

Given the volume of image data generated over extended experiments, substantial data storage is typically required. The external controller often includes dedicated storage, but network integration for archiving is common.

This listing is for the Essen Bioscience Incucyte Zoom Analysis System. The unit is in full working condition and is ready for immediate use. The IncuCyte ZOOM Live‑Cell Analysis System is a pioneering live‑cell imaging and analysis platform developed by Essen BioScience (now part of Sartorius). It enables fully automated, time‑lapse imaging—and quantitative analysis—of live cells within their native incubator environment over extended periods. Hardware configuration: The microscope gantry resides inside a tissue culture incubator. The external controller handles image acquisition, storage, and processing. Imaging capabilities: Supports 4×, 10×, and 20× objectives (image resolutions: ~3.05 µm/pixel at 4×, 1.22 µm/pixel at 10×, and 0.61 µm/pixel at 20×). Fluorescence: green (ex: 440–480 nm, em: 504–544 nm) and red (ex: 565–605 nm, em: 625–705 nm) channels. Can house and image multiple T‑flasks or microtiter plates—up to six at a time—and process over 2,000 images per hour. Software & analysis: Batch processing of cell metrics: confluence, cell number, morphology, fluorescence, and more. Specialty modules like NeuroTrack support neurite/dendrite analysis. Works with hardware tools (e.g., WoundMaker) and specialized software like CellPlayer for migration and scratch-wound assay.
