Chip-Man and ArcDia Announce
Collaboration
Advanced fluorescence technology for live cell culturing and analysis
Chip-Man Technologies and ArcDia, both of Finland, announce a collaboration to develop innovative new fluorescence detection modules for integration with Chip-Man Technologies' Cell-IQ live cell culturing and analysis system The new modules will be a first in live cell imaging, enabling simultaneous measurement and analysis of cell events using both phase contrast and living dyes within the same culture under incubation

Cell-IQ live cell imaging technology to be used to enhance angiogenesis research.
Juha Korpinen, CEO, Chip-Man Technologies Limited said, "This development will greatly enhance the capabilities of the Cell-IQ to enable even more detailed information to be extracted from living cells." He continued, "Professors Erkki Soini, Juhani Soini and colleagues are widely respected in the field of fluorescence detection".
"We are very fortunate to have such key expertise available within our local academic institutions." Cell-IQ represents a major breakthrough in cell analysis by enabling real time monitoring of all morphological and physiological changes in cell lines, primary cells, co cultures and monolayer tissue models.
The Cell-IQ software "learns" to recognize and record cellular change and to output these results as real time moving images and simple multi-parameter graphics.
The addition of a fluorescence detection module will enable the Cell IQ to identify specific siRNA and cDNA transcripts.
This will allow them to be closely monitored and the resulting morphological changes recorded within the population.
Thus the measurement of the true rate of cellular stimulation to specific drugs will be possible.
In addition researchers can select out those fluorophores that minimally effect cells or have a synergistic or antagonistic effect on target drugs, enabling better optimization and control of cell based experimentation.
