CloneSelect® Imager FL by Molecular Devices®

Demonstrating that cell lines are monoclonal – or that a gene was edited as expected – can be a time-consuming and highly-subjective process when relying on conventional technologies. The CloneSelect® Imager and CloneSelect® Imager FL are high-throughput automated solutions for imaging and analyzing mammalian cells. Tracking the formation of a colony from a single cell is effortless as barcoded plates are tracked over time. Automated acquisition and analysis provide accurate, objective, and consistent results.

With high-resolution white light imaging, the CloneSelect Imager provides automated confluence, monoclonality assurance, and industry-leading acquisition times with the ability to image a 96-well plate in under two minutes.

The all-new CloneSelect Imager FL features high contrast multichannel fluorescent and white light imaging that allows for accurate single-cell detection and proof of monoclonality at day 0. Streamline your workflow with comparative confluence assays to identify and verify gene edits.

Demonstrated IND success
The Monoclonality Report feature streamlines the creation of supporting documentation for regulatory agencies. Reports are automatically generated based on the parameters you select. The Monoclonality Report is an audit-ready document that supports filing for an Investigational New Drug (IND) Application with the FDA. (21 CFR Part 312)

Multichannel imaging and automated confluence
Algorithms are optimized for accurate cell detection and address varying cell types and conditions. Publication-ready high-resolution imaging provides automatic confluence analysis and monoclonality assurance.

Rapid single-cell confirmation
The imager delivers industry-leading acquisition times, imaging a 96-well plate in as little as two minutes, and can verify monoclonality from day zero with fluorescence.

Features 

• White light and fluorescent imaging
  Image every well in every plate with rapid acquisition times with label-free white light. Multichannel fluorescence imaging provides additional confidence of monoclonality and comparative confluence assays (red vs green).
• Quickly image a variety of plate formats and cell types
  Image a 96-well plate in under two minutes. Compatible with adherent or settled suspension cell types such as CHO, HEK, hybridomas, iPSCs, and many other cell types.
• High-resolution images
  High-speed fluorescence and high-resolution white light imaging with accurate detection of single cells including debris. Image visualization and data tracking over multiple days.
• Data tools to accelerate research timelines
  The software automatically calculates confluence measurements and generates growth curves, heatmaps, and image montages. Measurements for every well are automatically tracked over time. Streamline multiple steps (imaging, sample tracking, data analysis and report generation) in the cell line development workflow for IND filing.
• Intelligent analysis with easy-to-use software
  The software automatically calculates confluence for each imaging time point. Growth curve, image montage, total growth, and mean rate are generated automatically and are exportable. Guided software user interface allows for simple 1-hour training. 
• Custom automation options*
  The Automation and Customization Team offers a variety of custom services from robotic plate loading to fully automated workstations with liquid handling and incubation. We have built out custom automated work cells with the CloneSelect Imager for iPSC workflows, full assay systems and drug toxicity and characterization research.
