The Thermo Scientific™ CellInsight™ CX7 LZR High Content Screening (HCS) Platform consists of a CellInsight CX7 LZR HCS Reader and a CellInsight computer. In combination with the BioApplication and scanning software, the LZR HCS Reader Platform images fluorescently labeled cells and other biological samples within the wells of standard microplates and automatically measures the multi-parametric effects of cell treatments.
The unique optical path of the system is optimized for performing rapid automated imaging scans in clear-bottom microplates. It automatically focuses on a field of cells and acquires images at each selected channel. The installed HCS Studio Cell Analysis Software scanning application identifies and measures individual features and structures within each cell in a field of cells, so that hundreds of cells are analyzed in parallel. The software then tabulates and presents the results automatically. All raw data, including images of individual cells, are available for inspection and analysis. The software provides for multicolor imaging, automated cell-based image analysis, and data management for archiving, analysis, and creation of reports. An intuitive, graphical user interface guides you through image acquisition and image analysis, as well as data review and reporting.
This complete system is in premium condition and is offered at about 60% the cost of a new comparable system. Because it is a current system and only a few years old, it qualifies for a service contract from Thermo if desired.
