Maximum flexibility — don't stick to one size
cellZscope systems can be loaded with up to 24 inserts simultaneously. Three well sizes are available for use with small ("24-well" type), mid-sized ("12-well" type), or large ("6-well" type) inserts, respectively. The newly designed Cell Module for the cellZscope2 features 24 individual (stand-alone) stainless steel wells. This allows the user to combine different well sizes within one Cell Module, measuring simultaneously and comparing cell layers grown on small, mid-sized, or large inserts in a single experiment.
Easy to clean — sustainable and effortless
The new electrode design makes cleaning very easy. Single-piece stainless steel "pots" serve as bottom electrodes, as vessels for holding the cell culture medium, and as supports for cell culture inserts. They can be detached easily without the use of tools. The top electrodes are magnetically attached to the lid allowing fast and simple detachment. All stainless steel electrodes and the entire Cell Module lid are autoclavable with no further disassembly required. These new features make the cellZscope2 a snap to clean and sterilize. No additional device-specific disposables are required, keeping customer operating costs at a minimum.
Different sizes of cell culture inserts can now be combined within a single Cell Module. Thus allowing the automated monitoring and direct comparison of the barrier properties of cell layers housed in up to three different sized cell culture inserts.
The cellZscope is designed to ensure simple operation and maximum flexibility. Its Cell Module provides investigators full apical and basolateral access to all wells and is easily transferable to a laminar flow hood.
Sterilization of the wells and electrodes is simple and super convenient. All cellZscope parts coming into contact with cell culture media are designed using the highest quality stainless steel — ensuring long-lasting durability and excellent compatibility with all standard cleaning and sterilization methods.
The cellZscope software fully integrates data acquisition and data processing allowing barrier property dynamics to be visualized in real-time.
