Fluorescent Object Count - For running fluorescence-based assays. Quantify fluorescent objects over time and between wells.
FAQ:
What is Axion Lux?
The Axion Lux is a compact digital microscope that utilizes brightfield and fluorescence microscopy to capture automated high-quality images of living cells from inside an incubator. Samples are illuminated using an LED and recorded with a fixed camera positioned below the sample stage. The images are uploaded to the Axion Cloud where they can be analyzed using our image analysis algorithms or 3rd party software.
What type of image analysis modules can I use?
The Axion Lux is compatible with the following modules: brightfield/fluorescence Cell Confluence Analysis Algorithm, Scratch Assay (i.e. collective cell migration) Analysis Algorithm, and Fluorescent Object Count. Users always have the option to download the raw data and perform their own analysis on 3rd party software.
Can the Axion Lux platform be used inside a cell culture incubator?
Yes, the Axion Lux systems are designed to be used inside a cell culture incubator. The hardware and electronics can operate at 5 – 40°C and between 20 – 95% humidity.
What culture vessels are compatible with the Axion Lux systems?
Any transparent culture vessel that is lower than 55 mm (2.2’’) (height of the light arc) can be scanned. Some examples include 6- to 384-well plates, Petri dishes, T25 to T225, microfluidic chips, and Petri dishes.
