Hi, I'm Joanna, a product manager for Cell Culture Solutions at Olympus.
Today, I'll show you how you can improve your cell culture workflow
with the Olympus Provi CM20 incubation monitoring system.
Between seeding, growing, and checking cell counts and confluency,
the cell culture process can be tedious and have inconsistencies
that affect cell quality for processes
such as live cell imaging, cell assays and mass cell production.
The CM20 monitor can simplify this workflow
and lead to a more consistent result, saving both time and money.
Just place the imaging head and the cultures in the incubator
and the system will remotely image, do cell counts and determine the confluency.
With the CM20 monitor.
there's no need to label, stain, detach
or even remove the cultures from your incubator.
The system will periodically scan multiple points of the vessel
to provide a complete overview of your cell's health.
Traditionally, we rely on our eyes to determine the quality of cell cultures.
But if we use artificial intelligence
to determine confluency then we reduce the user bias.
The result then is a more reliable cell culture workflow.
The system's A.I. technology automatically measures the health
of cell cultures using consistent parameters.
This provides quantitative, reproducible data.
Simply teach the system by highlighting a few cells or colonies and paint them in.
The algorithms do the rest of the work.
And of course, the more you train, the more accurate your model becomes.
The system is now ready to automatically analyze the cell cultures.
Using these parameters the system will count the number of cells
and determine the confluency.
The data and analysis parameters can be easily stored, reused and transferred.
This helps reduce training time and ensures that different users
throughout the lab now follow the same procedures.
The collected data can also be easily compared to current and past data.
This enables you to detect
an abnormal cell culture earlier on in your process, saving time
and minimizing the use of costly lab consumables on unusable cell cultures.
Get all this information and more at your fingertips
while your cell cultures remain safely in the incubator.
Thanks for watching.
