Cellwatcher M
Multiply your array output by six.
Empower your assays comparing multiple conditions: Cellwatcher M. With six microscope units in one device, it is compatible with all standard 6-well plates and can be configured for lower-volume geometries (e.g. 48-well). Multiply your sample sizes and maximize your data quality with six extra large fields of view of 20 mm² each.
Monitor your assays continuously and stop relying on endpoint information. Benefit from temporally and spatially resolved results without any extra effort: The Cellwatcher M gives you the edge.
Acquire multiparametric data & six conditions at a time.
Objective AI analysis, done in real-time, ensures reproducible results without the expertise, effort, and errors of manual image analysis. Simply monitor your cells’ behavior across multiple conditions simultaneously and get results instantly.
Top-notch visualizations and multiparametric data down to the single cell level – Cellwatcher M and PHIOme level up your analysis of e.g. wound healing, drug screens, cluster formation, and more. Access all of your data through your browser via the PHIOme cloud: anywhere, anytime.
