Solentim Cell Metric & CM-Loader

• Used for automated imaging and analysis of cell cultures in multi-well plates.
• Essential for monoclonality assurance in cell line development workflows.
• Applied in drug discovery and development for cell growth monitoring and colony selection.
• Utilised in research laboratories for quantitative assessment of cell behaviour and morphology.

Typical plate compatibility

Commonly supports 6-well to 384-well plates, with specific models often accommodating T-flasks and other culture vessels.

Imaging modes

Typically offers brightfield imaging, with some units providing options for fluorescence.

Throughput

For this class of equipment, throughput is typically high, enabling rapid imaging and analysis of numerous plates.

Power supply

Units commonly operate on standard laboratory power, typically 100-240V AC, 50/60Hz.

Footprint

The Cell Metric unit typically requires a benchtop footprint, with the CM-Loader adding to the overall space requirement.

Connectivity

Commonly features USB or Ethernet for data transfer and integration with laboratory information management systems (LIMS).

Used microscopes are widely regarded as reliable investments when sourced from reputable suppliers. Buyers typically prioritize optical quality, mechanical condition and calibration history. Key considerations include lens cleanliness, stage functionality and electronic components if applicable. Industrial and laboratory users consistently value equipment with documented maintenance records and original accessories. Established brands tend to retain functionality well across decades. Buyers should verify light source operability and request detailed condition reports before purchase to ensure equipment meets specific magnification and resolution requirements.
