Confocal Quantitative Image Cytometer CQ1 offers a new approach to image quantification

CQ1 enables 3D imaging and quantification of live cell clusters, such as spheroids within a 3D culture vessel, as they are, keeping the cells intact. CQ1 exports feature data in general formats which are readable by various third-party software for advanced data analysis. It is possible to construct fully customized CQ1-based system by integrating with external systems^*1, via robot for culture dish handling.

Enables measurement of spheroids, colonies and tissue sections

• No need to remove cells from culture dish, in contrast to traditional flow cytometry
• Nipkow spinning disk confocal technology allows high-speed yet gentle 3D image acquisition
• Rich feature extraction to facilitate sophisticated cellular image analysis
• Wide field of view and tiling capability enable easy imaging of large specimen

Offers the similar operability to traditional flow cytometer

• Feature data and statistical graphs displayed in real-time with image acquisition
• Easy to trace back to the original image from a graph spot, and make repetitive measurements

Open platform

• Expandable to integrated system as image acquisition and quantification instrument
• FCS/CSV/ICE data format readable by third-party data analysis software
• Connectable with external systems via handling robot*1
• A variety of cell culture and sample dishes are applicable

Compact footprint, light weight bench-top device; no need for darkroom
