The CellASIC^® ONIX2 Microfluidic System

The ability to grow, observe and manipulate complex cultures requires precision control over the cell culture environment. The CellASIC^® ONIX2 Microfluidic System enables pre-programmed manipulation of multiple key cell culture parameters to allow real-time observation and measurement of how changes to media, temperature and gas environment impact live cells. Using high-quality, optically clear microfluidic plates and intuitive software, the system integrates with a broad range of inverted microscopes to allow continuous, high magnification observation of live cells — as they react to their environment in time.

Microfluidics-based cell culture allows exacting manipulation of the cellular environment while conserving valuable cells and reagents

• Ready-to-use plates and simple controls eliminate the technical complexity of live-cell/microfluidic experiment setup
• Plates engineered for diverse cell phenotypes optimize in-focus observation of adherent or suspension cells, bacteria, yeast
• Microvolumes mean more control, less media and reagent use, less biohazardous waste

More dynamic, in vivo-like conditions

• Static culture can’t capture cellular processes
• Living cells are in flux and may respond instantaneously to changing conditions

Precisely regulate the cell culture environment

• Maintain consistent temperature & gas mixture
• Easily regulate introduction/withdrawal of treatments, media, buffers using software controls—and with no disruption to culture.
• On-demand, rapid changes to conditions enable observation of cellular response in real time

Capture cell behavior in real time

• Design your own automated protocols to set up long-term experiments that proceed and are imaged without intervention

Document cells continuously, without losing focus

• Trap cells within a single focal plane – even difficult-to-corral suspension cells
• Track cells long-term, with automated imaging

Ready-to-use plates, engineered for diverse cell phenotypes, regulate introduction or withdrawal of treatments with no disruption to culture, design automated protocols
