Resipher - Handheld Cell Culture Monitor
The world`s first handheld cell culture monitor to measure oxygen consumption in standard multi-well plates, providing continuous insight directly from your incubator. Resipher utilizes proprietary high-resolution optical oxygen sensors to measure oxygen consumption and characterize the oxygen environment in cell culture.
Resipher`s non-invasive micro probes (500 μm diameter) dynamically scan above the cells to measure the oxygen concentration gradient that forms in media as a direct result of cellular oxygen consumption.
Lucid Scientific`s sophisticated signal processing algorithms convert concentration readings to cellular oxygen consumption. This data is streamed in real-time from the device hub to secure cloud storage that can be accessed by our web application.
Probe movement allows for active-scanning of oxygen gradient within the wells, effectively eliminating the influence of external variables (such as atmospheric pressure, humidity, etc.) that would make a “fixed-height” measurement inaccurate.
Base Station
Up to 8 devices are connected to a hub that stores all data locally and in the cloud. LEDs indicate status while devices are in the incubator.
Device
Resipher magnetically attaches to our disposable lids that rest securely on most standard 96-well plates.
Oxygen Sensors
32 optical sensors measure oxygen concentrations through openings on the underside of Resipher.
Lids
Individually sterilized disposable lids attach between the Resipher and the well plate.
Lucid Lab
Our cross-platform web application allows your team to create and manage experiments, stream and monitor data from devices in real-time, and generate plots that are ready for publishing.
O2 Gradient
Lucid Lab visualizes the oxygen concentration gradient in multiple ways and provides complete characterization of the culture environment.
Environmental Readings
In addition to oxygen consumption and concentration, Resipher continuously streams incubator temperature, relative humidity, atmospheric pressure, device motion and other environmental factors.
