Following the launches of the xCELLigence RTCA SP Instrument and the RTCA MP Instrument last year, Roche Applied Science has now completed its xCELLigence Real-Time Cell Analyzer product line with its newest model, the RTCA DP Instrument.
The xCELLigence system is designed to measure impedance-based signals both in label-free cellular analysis and in cell invasion/migration assays. The new RTCA DP Instrument (DP is short for dual plate) is applicable for flexible low-throughput research assays and uses up to three 16-well plates for simultaneous experiments. In contrast, the RTCA SP and MP systems cover the demand for medium to high throughput, respectively.
The new RTCA DP Instrument can provide real-time cellular analysis with a high level of flexibility for cell science researchers carrying out parallel short-term (hours) and long-term (days) assays using label-free, non-invasive impedance measuring.
The three 16-well plates of the RTCA DP Instrument can be operated flexibly by three different users; each 16-well E-Plate can be monitored and analyzed independently. The RTCA DP Instrument with 16-well E-Plates can be placed in standard CO2 incubators to achieve optimum cell culture conditions.
The wide variety of applications include:
• Compound-mediated and cell-mediated cytotoxicity
• Cell adhesion and cell spreading
• Cell proliferation and cell differentiation
• Receptor-mediated signaling
• Virus-mediated cytopathogenicity
• Constant quality control of cells
• Cell invasion and migration assays.
