Cell imaging with seamless integration
High-quality imaging of cells, integrated into your lab’s biology, formats, and workflow.Labman expertise
Enabling your workflow
Bring the precision, speed and safety of cell imaging to your laboratory.CompatibilityWe can build automation around your current hardware or help you integrate new optical setups - ensuring high-resolution imaging across a range of conditions.
Handing plates, dishes & vialsWhether you’re imaging in 96-well plates, flasks, or custom labware, we design and integrate movement and handling systems to position your samples accurately every time.
Multi-channel supportWe support optical switching, filter integration, and multi-channel workflows for rich, layered imaging.
Live or fixed sample imagingWe can incorporate the environmental control you need for live-cell imaging (temperature, CO₂, humidity), or build static workflows for fixed samples and endpoint assays.
Software & analysis integrationWe work with the imaging or analysis platforms you already trust or your in-house tools to create a complete, closed-loop workflow.
Tailored output & scalabilityFrom one-off R&D images to high-volume cell monitoring, we help scale imaging workflows to match your throughput, data requirements, and reporting systems.
