The Celigo Cell Cytometer Counts Every Cell in Every Well
Celigo® S is a bench-top, micro-well plate based, bright field and fluorescent imaging system. The best-in-class bright field imaging capability, in combination with 4 fluorescence channels, provide high speed, fully automated imaging and quantification of suspension, adherence cells, tumor spheroids, iPSC and cancer stem cell colonies within 6, 12, 24, 48, 96, 384, 1536-well plates, T flasks, and slides.
Proprietary optics and scanning system enable fast imaging of entire well, while maintaining consistent illumination and contrast out to the well edge, for accurate identification of all cells within each well.
With an intuitive software interface and optional integration into automation platforms, the Celigo provides labs with increased capabilities.

Excellent Optics for Enhanced Image Quality
Improve brightfield optical image quality at the edge of wells and eliminate edge optical distortion using an F-Theta lens for superior well edge-to-edge image contrast.

Fast Plate Scanning for Image Acquisition and Analysis
Increase the speed of plate acquisition dramatically using novel plate scanning technology for fast acquisition. Scan a 384-well plate in brightfield in 2 min.
Ability to Scan a Variety of Plate Vessels
Scan wells of any size using automated image stitching that can view and quantify cells and colonies in vessels up to 6-well plates and 10 cm dishes.
