Incucyte® SX5 - Leverage up to five different fluorescence channels, up to three at a time (Green/Orange/Near-IR) plus HD Phase imaging, for long term time-lapse experiments. There is also the option of separately purchasing a Green/Red Optical Module or the Incucyte® SX5 Metabolism Optical Module, for use with the Incucyte® ATP Assay.
All models of the Incucyte® provide multi-user support with unlimited, free user licenses. Additionally, multiple assays can be run and imaged in different channels in parallel. However, only the Incucyte® SX5 and S3 support independent vessel scheduling for different image acquisition frequencies.
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® SX5, an incubator larger than 200L is required.
The Incucyte® SX5 is our only instrument that, in addition to our phase channel, offers up to three fluorescent channels at one time with our Green/Orange/Near-IR Optical Module. This is a user swappable module that can be interchanged with the Incucyte® Green/Red Optical Module or the Incucyte® SX5 Metabolism Optical Module, for use with the Incucyte® ATP Assays. The Incucyte® SX5 also has an automated turret for the 4X/10X/20X objectives, as well as supporting independent scheduling of plates.
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.
