• Non-invasive, Label-free Cell Counting and Quantitative Analysis of Adherent Cells Using Digital Holography

  Anna Mölder et al

  Journal of Microscopy ()

  Using a unique non-invasive label-free cell counting method, results comparable to conventional cell counting using a haemocytometer were produced. The major advantage using HoloMonitor™ M2 is the opportunity to easily access information about cell number, size, optical thickness and confluence in an automatic, non-invasive manner.

  PLOS ONE ()

  We show that average cell phase volume results from DHM readings are comparable to the flow cytometry findings. DHM thus provides a non-disruptive alternative to flow cytometry. The technique has the potential to develop into a fast and cost-efficient method for pre-clinical monitoring of cancer treatment efficacy.

  Journal of Medical Imaging ()

  The morphological changes observed occur before and at lower concentrations than a reduction in cell metabolic activity or viability. Three classifiers are compared and we report a best case sensitivity of 88% and specificity of 94% for classification of cells as treated/untreated.

  Appl Sci ()

  Review providing a current insight into QPI (quantitative phase imaging) applied to cancer research. The authors conclude that QPI is an ideal method for studying live cell dynamics by providing data from noninvasive monitoring over arbitrary time scales. The effect of drugs on migration, proliferation, and apoptosis of cancer cells are emerging fields suitable for QPI analysis. The authors also point out that need for QPI applications in clinical cancer diagnostics and treatments is emerging.

• Moving into a New Dimension: Tracking Migrating Cells with Digital Holographic Cytometry in 3D

  A. Görloff Wingren

  Cytometry Part A ()

  Commentary article discussing the fundamental role of cell movement studies in cancer research. Advantages of the HoloMonitor Cell Tracking and Wound Healing Applications over the transwell migration and invasion assays are highlighted, and includes the possibility to use the cells in experiments for other purposes after completing the imaging. In addition to single cell tracking, the HoloMonitor technology also benefits from the fact that morphology analysis can be performed of each cell. The author concludes that this indeed opens up for almost unlimited possibilities to perform cell morphology analysis using this methodology, since each image is very rich in cellular information.
