CYTOO

  Cell Normalization Technology for High Content Screening

      The glass coverslip format with an array of over 10.000 micropatterns and a printed grid for easy localization.

      Sensitivity & powerful quantification to cell-based assays and screening

      5 shapes (Disk, Crossbow, H, Y, L)  and 3 sizes (large, medium,small)

     144 micropatterns in 2cm x 2cm,170um thick gridded coverslip of glass

     Easy analysis of cell contractility in response to drugs

 

 CYTOO Microfludic's Theory :  

  In standard culture conditions (left), the shape and extent of the  Golgi apparatus (in red) vary extensively with cell shape.

  On micropatterns (right), the shape and positioning of the Golgi apparatus is identical in all cells  (Dimitrov, Thery, Bornens).

Ordering Informatio

 

  CYTOO chips are packaged in an embossed clear plastic 6 blister tray

  sealed with paper.
  In this format CYTOO chips may be loaded directly into a 6 well plate

  with no direct manipulation.

 

 

    The CYTOO chamber uses a patented magnetic

    system (from  Live Cell Instruments) for easy

    assembly.

 The CYTOOchamber has the same footprint as standard  35mm culture

  dishes and therefore will fit into all 35mm microscope stage adaptors.

 CYTOOchambers are available in 1well and 4well formats.   

 We are currently updating our store to include the 4well

                             

   CYTOO PLATETM :

   Microfludic multiwell Plate

 The standard glass bottom microplate format presenting thousands of micropatterns per well.

 CYTOOplates are ideal for pharma, biotech and academic screening center customers employing high content

 cell- based assays for research, drug safety, and drug screening applications  

  - Glass-bottom microplates

  - 96, 384-well format

  - Structures for fluorescence applications with reduced background and minimum scattered light.

  - Over 3,000 micropatterns. / well

 A new dimension to your HCA/HCS assays:
  - Powerful assay standardization
  - Reproducible & sensitive cell phenotype quantification
  - Straightfoward image Analysis
