In the cytology laboratory, since cells enter the incubator, their activity, growth status, and even growth curves need to be continuously tested. These tasks require taking them in and out from time to time, such as microscopy, counting, OD600, etc. The external temperature and carbon dioxide concentration are also constantly changing, which greatly affects the survival of cells.
CytoSMART ™ The real-time monitoring system for cell culture, between your fingertips, helps you easily achieve real-time monitoring of cell growth.

Operation steps:
Take CytoSMART ™ Place it on the layer board of the incubator, culture bottle or dish, and place the culture plate under the light. The instrument comes with illumination and 10X magnification imaging function. Connect the signal and power cables, connect the tablet computer with software control externally, stick it on the incubator door, set the program, adjust the focal length, set the brightness, connect the tablet computer, and you can transmit signals, pictures, and videos while displaying the temperature inside the incubator.
CytoSMART ™ You can set a certain interval for taking photos, and then play the photos continuously in a time-lapse manner. It comes with image analysis function, which can analyze the confluence ratio of cell coverage. It is easy to calculate the doubling time and determine the passage time based on the cell growth curve. Previously, the quality of cell culture mainly relied on the experience of experimenters, but with CytoSMART ™ With the assistance of, researchers can obtain more parameters related to cell culture (growth rate, doubling time, passage timing, etc.), which helps to obtain stable and reliable experimental data.

CytoSMART ™ It can also monitor the temperature in the incubator, provide temperature data during the cell culture process, and customers can set the cell confluence ratio and temperature alarm prompt in the software. When the set value is reached, the software will remind the experimenters via email.
