Image Analysis

We currently have 8 image analysis computers, all of them accessible remotely, whilst 4 are also accessible locally with 4k 48inch displays so you can see your data in its best light. We also have a varied range of commercial software packages available on many of these computers

Fluorescence High Throughput Spinning Disk Confocal

The Operetta CLS is a multi-modal high-content microscopy system. Designed for high throughput, it can capture both widefield and spinning disk confocal images. Setup a single well in a 96 well plate and simply allow the system to replicate those settings across the entire plate. With an automated water immersion objective you also don’t have to sacrifice resolution for high throughput multipoint positioning.

Fluorescence Phase Contrast Widefield High Throughput

The Incucyte SX5 is engineered for long-term, high throughput, widefield microscopy. The system is compatible with a range of plates and cell culture flasks in stable conditions (37°C temperature, stable humidity and 5% CO2), with automated imaging for long-term experiments.  

Images can be acquired over time and analysed in real time. The SX5 supports a wider range of fluorescent imaging than the S3, with up to five fluorescent channels available. The acquisition software is loaded with a variety of analysis tools and modules, details below.  

The Cytek Aurora cell sorter is equipped with five excitation lasers (ultraviolet 355nm, violet 405nm, blue 488nm, yellow/green 561nm and red 642nm) and has a flexible detection configuration with a number of filter set options, detecting up to 24 parameters (21 fluorescence channels, two forward scatter channels and one side scatter).

The BD LSRFortessa™ SORP X-20 analyzing flow cytometer is equipped with five excitation lasers (ultraviolet 355nm, violet 405nm, blue 488nm, yellow/green 561nm and red 642nm) and is able to detect up to 20 parameters (18 fluorescence channels plus forward scatter and side scatter). This cytometer’s configuration has been designed to mirror that of our BD Influx (excluding small particle detection), enabling users to easily transfer or work-up experiments.

The Attune NxT analyzing flow cytometer is a high-end, user-friendly flow cytometer with 4 excitation lasers and 24 detection parameters (matching our BD Fortessa SORP and X20 configuration). Optimised for both biomedical and environmental research, this cytometer offers an optional auto-sampling system, small particle detection and volumetric analysis ie, exact counts.

The Attune utilising a novel technique of Acoustic Focusing the sample on the the lasers which allows high through put sampling from tubes, up to 1ml per minute.

The Cytek Aurora leverages full spectrum technology to provide unprecedented flexibility to scientists, enabling the use of a wide array of new fluorochrome combinations without reconfiguring the system for each application.

Aurora is equipped with 5 lasers (wavelengths 350nm, 405nm, 488nm, 561nm and 640 nm) and 66 fluorescent detectors it provides outstanding multi-parametric data for a wide array of applications.
