The New CellAssist:

Thrive Bioscience’s new benchtop instrument, the CellAssist, automatically builds a database of images, metrics, and methods and materials to ensure centralized capture and retention of data. The unique CellAssist is setting new standards for reproducible adherent cell, tissue and suspension culture in numerous laboratory applications.

The CellAssist replaces your time at the inverted microscope to acquire, organize, and analyze images of all your cells in SBS format plates. Minutes after inserting a standard 6-well through 96-well plate into the CellAssist, the system captures, displays and processes hundreds of high-resolution images of adherent cells at 4x or 10x, using phase contrast or bright-field imaging. With barcodes to identify plates and reagents, the CellAssist maintains a complete centralized record of growth and behavior of all cells.

EvalCore Analysis Workstation

Thrive Bioscience’s EvalCore is a computer workstation at the heart of the CellAssist’s visualization and analysis capabilities. It can be placed in the laboratory or office to automatically download all of the images from the CellAssist instrument. 

The CellAssist software analyzes the images, and presents a comprehensive and coherent view into all of the images and metrics from the entire history of all of the laboratory’s projects.

In addition, the entire plate setup information, normally entered into the CellAssist tablet, can also be entered into EvalCore and automatically transmitted to the CellAssist instrument.

CellAssist Benefits For Your Laboratory

Centralized database provides consistent and shareable images 
to improve your cell, tissue and suspension culture
experiments and results

  • Organizes images across time, cell lines, and labs
  • Images and displays cells at the same location on the cell, tissue and suspension culture
    plate within 15 μm across scans
  • Generates extensive data sets of over 3 GB of images per scan

Objective metrics and quantitative reports
enhance cell, tissue and suspension culture decision making and productivity

  • Characterizes cell dynamics, including growth curves, confluence, and the number and area of colonies
  • Analyzes and compares cells to support decision-making to reduce variability and increase quality
  • Allows comparison and optimization of multiple methods and materials

Key workflow details and status of cells are captured and archived 
to provide confidence that data is not lost or compromised

  • Accurately records and time-stamps your cell, tissue and suspension culture process with a barcode scanner
  • Captures and archives the key workflow details and the status of cells to provide confidence that data is not lost or compromised
  • Enables comparison with previous experiments to optimize and ensure reproducibility of your cell, tissue and suspension culture
