Researchers to Benefit from New Automated Cell Imaging System

A newly released automated cell imaging system was designed to make research in cell biology both easier and more efficient.

GE Healthcare (Piscataway, NJ, USA) has launched the IN Cell analyzer 2000, a flexible cell imaging system for high content analysis with excellent image quality, speed, and ease-of-use for all screening and research needs.

The IN cell analyzer 2000 was designed to deliver excellent performance for both high content analysis and high content screening of fixed and live cells. Its configurable design allows a broad range of capabilities, from imaging of subcellular components to small organisms. Integrated hardware and software provide the highest quality images and data, accessible through an intuitive and user-friendly graphic interface.

The option of a new state-of-the art large camera (2048 x 2048 pixel array) enables superior optical zooming and the capture of approximately four times the field of view compared to the standard camera option. Coupled with a long-life wide-field illumination source that is twice as bright as a conventional xenon lamp, the large camera acquires high quality images that are evenly illuminated across the entire field of view. With the large camera, it is possible to capture many more cells in a single image, giving more statistically robust results in a single pass, as well as error-free detection and quantification of large structures or rare events.

"The IN cell analyzer 2000 was developed to address the needs of the entire high-content imaging workflow: combined with intuitive software, as well as expert instrument and applications support, even the most challenging high content assays are now an every day reality. Cell analysis just got easier," said Leighton Howells, program manager, at GE Healthcare. "The launch of the IN cell analyzer 2000 exemplifies our commitment to the continued development of leading solutions for cell imaging scientists."
