Live cell imaging with the zenCELL owl incubator microscope enables automatization and parallelization of routine and specific cell culture applications. zenCELL owl uses 24 independent cameras to acquire brightfield scans and perform image analysis of up to 24 wells of your cell culture in parallel automatically. The specialized software provides data visualization and analysis in real time and around the clock – 24/7. Culture quality and data can be comfortably checked from your PC – anywhere and anytime without entering the lab. The space-saving and easy-to-handle device is compatible with a range of standard cell culture vessels like multi-well plates, flasks or individual formats.

-Analyze up to 24 wells in parallel

-Automize routine applications

-Save space & stay flexible

-Remote monitoring

-Increase data quality & quantity

-No user intervention

-Automate routine applications

Let zenCELL owl record and analyze your cell cultures: Just set up the experiment and walk away. Check your cell cultures and data analyses anytime from anywhere without going into the lab. Save time for other tasks.

Perform simultaneous cell culture monitoring

Analyze cell confluence and morphology of up to 24 wells simultaneously and compare individual wells at the same time to raise the validity and reproducibility of your experiments.

Stay flexible & save space

Quickly move or remove the only 18 x 10.5 x 18 cm and 1.05 kg device and leave enough space for other vessels – or further zenCELL owl devices. Benefit from easy cleaning and disinfection and a low-maintenance due to absence of mechanical parts or rust-prone screws. Just plug in the cable, start the intuitive software and get started. No cable clutter in incubator and lab.

Don't miss the smallest detail​

Cell confluence and photos are recorded with a minimum interval of 10 min. 24/7 long term measurement and automated data acquisition increase the validity of your assay by rising the number of tracked and analyzed data points.
You never miss a data point due to real-time continuous monitoring. Zoom down to cell level, capture high quality photos or create time-lapse videos. Track and analyze data time-resolved. Analyze dynamic chances and developments of your cell culture retrospectively and in detail.

Let the software do your job

Algorithms evaluate the confluence of each picture and estimate changes in the relative cell number objectively and in real time. This creates consistent, reproducible and reliable results with no subjective scope of interpretation. Compare mean values and standard deviations of individually selected wells.

Leave your cells where they belong - in the incubator

Your cell cultures and zenCELL owl can remain in the incubator during the complete experiment. Active user interventions are avoided, e.g. for manual microscopy. This prevents fluctuations of the environmental conditions like temperature and CO₂ and lowers the risk of contamination. Measurement results can be clearly traced back to the behavior of the cells at optimal culture conditions. Special settings such as hypoxia can be tested as experiments can be performed under defined conditions.
