The MuviCyte live-cell imaging system is designed to operate inside your cell-culture incubator, enabling you to maintain your cells under optimal conditions and perform a wide range of assays in a variety of culture vessels.
Life science research labs study cellular behaviors and pathways to gain a deeper understanding of functions, disease mechanisms and responses to treatments. Live-cell imaging is a vital tool for getting maximum information from precious cell samples.
The MuviCyte live-cell imaging kit consists of a MuviCyte live-cell imaging instrument plus 4x, 10x and 20x objective lenses, PC and monitor.

The MuviCyte system is designed to operate inside your incubator, so you can maintain your cells under optimal conditions, keeping them healthy for weeks at a time. Controlled by an external PC, you can observe your cells remotely, which helps to keep the culture chamber at optimum levels of temperature, CO2, and humidity. The automated operation allows you to focus on your science while the instrument runs unattended.
With three-color fluorescence imaging, z-stacking, and stitching capabilities, you can perform a wide range of assays in a variety of culture vessels, e.g. chamber slides, petri dishes, flasks, microplates. Automated imaging, over hours to days, means your assays can be run at much higher throughput than with a traditional microscope.
The system has built-in image analysis software for assays such as cell health and viability, transfection efficiency, reporter gene, apoptosis and proliferation, and optional software available for scratch wound and spheroid assays.
The flexible movie-making software provides a great way to gain more realistic and meaningful insights into cell behavior, functions, and responses.

Live-cell imaging has evolved from allowing observation of large-scale changes to capturing subtle changes in dynamic cellular processes. Today, live-cell imaging coupled with high-content analysis enables researchers to extract quantitative data in real-time, facilitating new insights in basic life science research and drug discovery. Modern live-cell imaging systems can capture rapid cellular events, track cell movement, monitor protein signaling, screen cell health, and much more.

To study cell migration dynamics or to identify drugs affecting cell migration, the scratch wound assay is one of the most prominent and popular in vitro methods.
As experimental procedures used in such assays are highly variable and lack standardization, results from different experiments or sources are often difficult to compare.
Download our tech note to learn how you can perform a kinetic, label-free, live-cell scratch wound assay, which is robust and reliable with the MuviCyte™ live-cell imaging system.
