Single Cell Tracking Assay

Time-Efficient.

Powerful algorithms immediately generate automatic tracking results

Our development team thrives by increasing user productivity. Therefore, the Single Cell Tracking Assay is optimized to boost your analysis efficiency. It automatically tracks all cells in the field of view when imaging your cell sample and presents your images and results in a clear and graphic way.

Like all HoloMonitor live cell assays, you set up your label-free assay in the same easy and straightforward way in the software and get guided through the experiment workflow. Firstly, this not only immensely reduces your hands-on lab time but also increases the reproducibility of your assay. Consequently, this will allow you to achieve more reliable and relevant results in your cell-based research.

• Guided assay workflows reduce your hands-on lab time and increase reproducibility
• Powerful algorithms immediately generate automatic tracking results
• Export your data for further investigation

Non-invasive.

A cell-friendly tool for tracking live cell cultures in real-time with the option for additional fluorescence insights

Like all HoloMonitor live cell assays, it lets you follow cells over time in a non-invasive way. In fact, no cytotoxic stains, markers, or cellular labels are needed to track the cells. This lets you keep light exposure to a minimum and reduce photocytotoxicity when deciding to add fluorescence for additional insights. Label-free assays not only reduce the risk of unwanted toxicity. They also allow you to reuse your cell samples, as you do not have to add reagents to the sample. Hence making it possible for you to save rare and precious cells, such as stem cells and primary cells.

Most importantly, you are able to follow everyday cell life right inside the incubator. By imaging inside an incubator, HoloMonitor creates a stable and relevant assay environment for your cells. Therefore, the HoloMonitor Single Cell Tracking assay is ideal for long-term studies of your live cell cultures.

• No cytotoxic stains are needed to track your cells
• Imaging right inside the incubator
• Perfect for biologically relevant long-term studies

Get more data on every single cell within a population

All our HoloMonitor live cell assays are developed together with cell biologists since we want to make sure that they won’t waste your limited lab time and resources. On the contrary to the traditional way of working, where you had to set up several different time- and cell-consuming assays for each assay result you wish to get. You can re-use imaging results from one experiment and easily analyze them in multiple other HoloMonitor assays — from home if you have to.

The Single Cell Tracking Assay lets you tap into the immense potential resulting from multiple automatic assay results. Specifically, making it possible for you to explore and combine cell morphology and cell movement data. As a result, you get to study over 30 label-free cell morphology characteristics with the option to add a green fluorescence dimension with the add-on fluorescence unit. The outstanding individual cell tracking of the system is loved by our users. In short, you get to follow in detailed movement plots single cells and cell populations in their migration and motility behavior.

• More insights in one experiment setup
• Study 30+ morphology features from one experiment
• Follow in advanced movement plots both single cells and their entire cell families

Easy-to-use.

Modern software with a guided workflow

The Single Cell Tracking Assay is designed to meet the current demands of cell researchers. To help you to succeed in your research, we continuously develop our assays to adapt to your future needs.

At any time, you can swiftly re-analyze recorded time-lapse images with another HoloMonitor live cell assay. You can come back to your experiment data at a later point and even work on your data analysis from home. Therefore, you can quickly obtain multiple results from the same cell sample and experiment setup — saving you time, money, and precious cells.

Combined insights of both morphology and movement behavior of cells are absolutely a powerful tool when studying complex biological questions such as EMT in cancer metastasis or stem cell differentiation kinetics. However, it is not just kinetic morphology and movement data you can generate from the same original tracking data set. In fact, you can study many events in everyday cell life using the same tracking results. For example, you can explore cell proliferation, cytotoxicity, or drug responses.

• Cell imaging and analysis software for biologists, by biologists
• Get more results from multiple assays in the software and expand your insights
• Study other cellular events using the same experiment results, such as cell proliferation, cytotoxicity, or drug response
