Do you know how your cells develop?
The oCelloScope provides deeper insight and more information about your cells with real-time kinetic data. oCelloScope automatically acquires and analyzes images in standard micro-titer plates. We free up researchers’ time, increases sample throughput, and delivers richer data.
oCelloScope is a unique high throughput live-cell imaging system for sensitive and detailed monitoring of biological growth and development.
- Unique proprietary scanning technology, FluidScopeTM
- Unique Image analysis software based on both pixel detection and deep learning algorithms.

FluidScopeTM scanning technology
oCelloScope is based on a unique optical scanning technology FluidScopeTM combining optical techniques such as phase contrast, brightfield and confocal-like microscopy.
Together with advanced image processing algorithms, the FluidScopeTM technology provides:
- Fast scanning of a volume in the sample
- Greater freedom of operation with multiple Z-layers acquired simultaneously
- Detailed 3D information at a single cell level
- Requires no pre-treatment, staining or additional reagents
