Apr2018 ImageXpress backup

The ImageXpress MicroXl platform is a high content instrument from Molecular Devices. Incorporation of a large sensor scientific CMOS camera together with LED solid light source provides enhanced optical sensitivity and image quality over standard high content systems. New MetaXpressTM software solutions such as a “Digital Confocal Option” and “Custom Module Editor” provides increased capability and flexibility to customize image analysis routines for quantification of defined phenotypes. The AcuityXpressTM software facilitates quality control assessment across multiple plates and tissue slides and incorporates multivariate statistical and similarity profiling tools to exploit multiparametric phenotypic data. The ImageXpress platform represents a fully equipped high content solution integrated with plate handling robotics (PAA Scara 4 robot), barcode reader and an extensive image-informatics suite (MetaXpressTM and AcuityXpressTM software) that stream-lines; complex high-content analysis routines; data analysis; image storage and review.
