xCELLigence RTCA DP – Cell Invasion & Migration

Product Information

The Agilent xCELLigence Real-Time Cell Analysis (RTCA) DP (dual purpose) instrument continuously measures cell invasion and migration (CIM) and monitors cell health, behavior, and function using label-free cellular impedance. The three cradles of the DP instrument enable three separate electronic 16-well plates to be controlled and monitored in parallel or independently of one another. The instrument operates in a standard CO2 cell culture incubator and the control unit is housed outside the incubator.

More Information

  • xCELLigence RTCA DP model can run up to three separate electronic 16-well plates (E-Plate 16 or CIM-Plate 16)
  • Each well in the CIM-Plate 16 is an electronically integrated Boyden chamber, which enables the monitoring of cell invasion and migration in real-time (at second or minute intervals) without exogenous labels
  • Non-invasive and label-free real-time impedance assay using E-Plate 16 measures cell health, viability, or response to treatments with high sensitivity, accuracy, and reproducibility
  • Obtain continuous data at high temporal resolution (from seconds to days)
  • Easy workflow allows users to simply add cells to E-Plates and begin kinetic measurements at physiological conditions, with minimal hands-on time
  • Intuitive RTCA Software Pro allows for analysis of real-time data to generate diverse plot types and automatically calculate parameters such as % percent of cytolysis, IC50 or KT50
  • RTCA Software Pro supports FDA 21 CFR Part 11 compliance to ensure electronic data integrity
