ATTO Living Cell Imaging System

The Live Cell Imaging System category encompasses advanced platforms designed for real-time visualization and analysis of cellular processes under physiological conditions. These systems are integral to molecular biology, pharmacology, and cell biology research, enabling high-resolution imaging of dynamic events within living cells.

Key Technical Features

• High-Sensitivity Detection
  Utilizes advanced imaging sensors, such as EM-CCD cameras, to detect low-intensity signals, including bioluminescence and fluorescence, at the single-cell level.
• Environmental Control
  Equipped with incubation systems that maintain optimal conditions (e.g., 37°C temperature, 5% CO₂ concentration) to preserve cell viability during prolonged imaging sessions.
• Time-Lapse Imaging
  Supports continuous monitoring of cellular events over extended periods, facilitating studies on cell proliferation, migration, and differentiation.
• Compact and Versatile Design
  Engineered to fit within standard laboratory incubators, minimizing space requirements and allowing integration into existing workflows.
• Advanced Software Integration
  Includes user-friendly software for image acquisition, analysis, and data management, featuring tools for quantifying signal intensity, tracking cellular movements, and generating time-lapse videos.

Applications

• Gene Expression Analysis
  Monitoring transcriptional activity in real-time using reporter genes (e.g., luciferase) to study gene regulation mechanisms.
• Cellular Dynamics Studies
  Observing processes such as mitosis, apoptosis, and intracellular trafficking to understand cellular functions and responses.
• Drug Screening and Toxicology
  Evaluating the effects of pharmaceutical compounds on live cells to assess efficacy and cytotoxicity.
• Neuroscience Research
  Investigating neuronal activity and signaling pathways through live imaging of neural cells.
• Circadian Rhythm Investigations
  Studying the oscillatory patterns of gene expression and cellular activities over time.
