FAQ

How does the Omni work?

The Omni operates by illuminating samples using an LED and recording them with a moving camera positioned beneath the sample stage. During brightfield acquisition, the camera scans the sample stage, capturing a sequence of sequential images. A complete brightfield scan typically produces around 7850 snapshots, which are then stitched together to create an image with a surface area of 86 mm × 124 mm (3.4’’ × 4.9’’). When acquiring fluorescence images, users have the flexibility to choose how many snapshots of a specific location within the well to record. These images are subsequently uploaded to the Cloud, where they can be analyzed using our image analysis algorithms or compatible third-party software.

What image analysis modules are compatible with the Omni platform?

The Omni is compatible with a range of image analysis modules, including the Brightfield/Fluorescence Cell Confluence Analysis Algorithm, Scratch Assay (collective cell migration) Analysis Algorithm, Clonogenic Assay Algorithm, and Fluorescent Object Count. Additionally, users have the option to download raw data and conduct their own analysis using third-party software.

Is it possible to utilize the Omni platform within a cell culture incubator?

Certainly, Omni systems are purposefully designed for use within a cell culture incubator. The hardware and electronics are capable of operating within a temperature range of 5-40°C and under humidity conditions between 20-95%.

Which types of culture vessels can be used with the Omni systems?

The Omni systems can accommodate any transparent culture vessel with a height lower than 55 mm (2.2’’) (height of the light arc). This includes various containers such as 6- to 384-well plates, Petri dishes, and T25 to T225 flasks. It’s important to note that the scan area size is limited to 86 mm × 124 mm (3.4’’ × 4.9’’).
