Reviews
See What Your Peers Are Saying About the Incucyte® System
The Incucyte® Live-Cell Analysis System is the first real-time system that automatically captures and analyzes images of living cells around-the-clock for days, weeks, or months, while cells remain undisturbed inside a standard tissue culture incubator. Kinetic, image-based measurements ensure you never miss a relevant response.
