Acquifer imaging machine for high-content screening

The Acquifer imaging machine is a fully automated microscopy system for small model organisms and cell-based screening applications. It is an easy-to-use, high-speed screening platform that is especially suitable for time-lapse recording and focused on high stability, easy maintenance, maximum experiment reproducibility and long-term data transparency. Typical applications include screening of zebrafish, drosophila, yeast, cells and 3D cell cultures.

The combination of a static microtiter plate and moving objectives provides an optimised research platform for samples in agarose, gel and water. With temperature and CO₂ control, pressure-free incubation, a linear motor and laser auto-focus, images can be acquired throughout the image acquisition process.
