Live-cell analysis offers a powerful technique for monitoring cell proliferation and death. By acquiring images at regular intervals, cell proliferation can be measured in real time for days or even weeks, and overall cell health can be evaluated based on morphology and growth. This information is vital for robust, reliable assay development and allows experimental conditions to be optimized prior to cell treatments. The non-perturbing nature of live-cell imaging also enables these assays to be used alongside other techniques to maximize the information gained from precious samples.
The Incucyte® Live Cell Analysis System offers a range of tools to visualize and quantify cell proliferation, identify specific subpopulations and measure cell death.
