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, via robot for culture dish handling.
The  Yokogawa Dual Spinning Disk Confocal Technology is an integrated part of CQ1 Live Cell Imager and  this multi-beam scanning method offers not only high speed imaging but also significantly reduced phototoxicity and photo bleaching.

Yokogawa’s CQ1 employs advanced imaging technology to help researchers achieve high-speed and high-resolution live cell imaging.
