Kinetic Cell Motility Assay

Single-cell based.

Get directly-measured cell population data

Compared to traditional phase contrast microscopy, the quantitative phase imaging (QPI) technology used by HoloMonitor offers exceptional automatic cell segmentation and identification no matter your cells’ shapes and sizes. This enables the software to robustly follow the movement behavior of every cell in the population over time, in real-time.

Automatic.

Save hours of hands-on lab time

The guided kinetic cell motility assay workflow not only reduces your hands-on lab time but also contributes to increasing your experiment reproducibility. Certainly, there is no need to supervise the imaging process with this walk-away assay. In fact, the HoloMonitor system automatically captures multi-well time-lapses with a high temporal resolution however long you would like to run your assay for. Also, the software automatically presents your population motility data while the experiment is still running.

In addition, the motility assay results can easily be re-analyzed with other HoloMonitor live cell assays to generate multiple results, such as proliferation data, and deeper insights — all from the same cell sample and without running further experiments.

We all know about the importance of time

HoloMonitor is a live cell analysis tool designed for and by cell biologists. So, we made sure that everything from assay setup, to imaging and data presentation, is making your daily lab routine easier. Therefore, your cells’ motility data is collected automatically throughout the whole experiment — no more watching the clock to tediously take time points yourself. Also, in comparison to taking only a few data points manually, this kinetic motility assay is providing you with multi-well data down to every minute, if you need it. As a result, you receive detailed real-time insights into how, for example, a drug treatment influences your cells’ motility behavior.

Non-invasive.

Create relevant assay conditions for relevant answers

By imaging right inside your standard incubator, HoloMonitor creates a stable and relevant assay environment for your cells. In addition, using this non-invasive motility assay does not only reduce the risk of unwanted toxicity. This assay also allows cell samples to be reused, as no reagents are added to the sample. Hence, they save time and money. But foremost non-invasive assays save hard-to-get cells. This way, the HoloMonitor Kinetic Cell Motility Assay is ideal for long-term studies of your live cell cultures.
