美谷分子推出ImageXpress 微共聚焦高内涵成像系统

ImageXpress 微共聚焦高内涵成像系统以宽视场成像的速度扩展了共聚焦技术的研究领域

加利福尼亚州桑尼维尔，2015 年 9 月 1 日。Molecular Devices今天宣布推出新的ImageXpress® Micro Confocal High-Content Imaging System。这种变革性的系统适用于广泛的基于细胞的自动化成像应用，特别是使用3D细胞模型（如球体、组织和生物体）的新兴检测。

ImageXpress 微共聚焦系统采用革命性的 AgileOptix™ 旋转盘技术，可实现简单的用户定义配置，以确保共聚焦和宽视场成像的最大检测性能。提供多种共聚焦几何形状，包括针孔和狭缝共聚焦成像 - 这是唯一具有此选项的商用高内涵成像系统。与其他旋转盘共聚焦系统不同，AgileOptix技术通过结合强大的固态光引擎、专有的旋转盘技术、先进的光学元件和高量子效率的科学CMOS传感器，使ImageXpress微共聚焦系统能够提供苛刻应用所需的灵敏度和吞吐量。该系统可采集>3对数动态范围并捕获出版物质量的图像，同时其较大的光学视野可最大限度地收集与统计相关的数据。

"我们非常高兴能够推出这种具有突破性功能的创新成像系统，非常适合当今复杂，生理上更相关的细胞应用，"Molecular Devices总裁Greg Milosevich说。"凭借30多年开发高性能解决方案以推进蛋白质和细胞生物学的经验，我们设计了该系统，将共聚焦成像的强大功能带入更广泛的实验室，同时以ImageXpress系列的图像质量，灵活性和稳健性为基础。此次推出巩固了我们作为基于细胞的分析解决方案的领先提供商的地位，在快速增长的复杂，生理相关细胞模型领域为客户提供了一个真正独特的平台。

ImageXpress Micro Confocal High-Content Imaging System expands the boundaries of research
Confocal technology at the speed of widefield imaging

Sunnyvale, California, September 1, 2015.  Molecular Devices today announced the launch of the new ImageXpress® Micro Confocal High-Content Imaging System. This transformative system fits a broad range of automated cell-based imaging applications, especially emerging assays that use 3D cellular models such as spheroids, tissues, and organisms.

The ImageXpress Micro Confocal system features the revolutionary AgileOptix™ spinning disc technology which enables simple, user-defined configurations to ensure maximum assay performance for both confocal and widefield imaging. Multiple confocal geometries are available including pinhole and slit confocal imaging–the only commercially available high-content imaging system with this option. Unlike other spinning disc confocal systems, AgileOptix technology enables the ImageXpress Micro Confocal system to deliver the sensitivity and throughput needed for demanding applications by combining a powerful solid-state light engine, proprietary spinning disc technology, advanced optics and high-quantum efficiency scientific CMOS sensors. The system acquires >3 log dynamic range and captures publication-quality images while its large optical field of view maximizes collection of statistically-relevant data.

"We are very excited to introduce this innovative imaging system with breakthrough capabilities ideally suited for today’s complex, more physiologically relevant cellular applications” said Greg Milosevich, President of Molecular Devices. "With more than 30 years of experience developing high-performance solutions advancing protein and cell biology, we have designed this system to bring the power of confocal imaging to a much broader range of labs while building on the image quality, flexibility, and robustness of our ImageXpress family. This introduction strengthens our position as the leading provider of cell-based assay solutions by providing customers with a truly unique platform in the fast-growing area of complex, physiologically-relevant cellular models.”
