Fluorescent channels vary depending on the instrument. In the case of the Incucyte® SX1 is equipped with two-color Green/Red fluorescence plus HD Phase imaging.
The Incucyte® itself is not an incubator but sits within a standard tissue culture incubator so cells are maintained in a physiologically relevant environment. For the Incucyte® SX1, an incubator larger than 200L is recommended.
The Incucyte® SX1 is a great budget-friendly option that can support the same applications as an Incucyte® S3, but at a lower throughput for smaller labs with less users. It is an ideal option for labs who are looking for a model that better suits their budget. In addition, the Incucyte® SX1 can be upgraded to an Incucyte® S3 if the additional features and an increased throughput is needed in the future.
Because we want to provide the best and most relevant support to your research, Sartorius experts are available to demonstrate the features and benefits of our live-cell imaging and analysis systems in a personalized manner.
