Molecular Devices CellXpress.ai cell culturing system

Molecular Devices’ CellXpress.ai is a cell culturing system with an integrated incubator, liquid handler, and image-based, deep-learning decision-making to automate the entire cell culture process. The product helps to scale up complex cell culture workflows, with actionable imaging and turnkey protocols for media exchange, monitoring and passaging.

Automated cell culture and image analysis workflows will run 24/7 — even when the lab is closed. The user can track the complete cell journey over time, with a unified software environment making it easy to develop traceable and reproducible cell cultures specific to the desired assay endpoint.

Users can answer critical questions quickly by easily identifying outliers at the well, plate or experiment level to help detect variability sources and make decisions. By removing these plates or wells from downstream processing early in the drug discovery process, reagents can be saved.

The use of standardised protocols and consistent automation speeds up the development process. Additionally, automated decision-making triggers events such as feeding, monitoring and passaging, and can notify users of assay milestones or required intervention.

The product is designed to improve productivity and optimise hands-on time with image-based, deep-learning decision-making. This should help to remove variability, reduce human error, maintain sterility, and increase confidence in success with automated cell handling.

Users can solve complex image analysis problems utilising advanced artificial intelligence (AI) to transform images into results and data into decisions. User-friendly workflows help users get answers fast from 2D, 3D and time-lapse experiments.
