Simultaneous multicolor imaging for successful experiments
Multiplex live cell imaging enables the observation of multiple cellular structures and processes simultaneously, offering a more physiologically relevant understanding of dynamic interactions. However, the approach presents several challenges:
-
Crosstalk and Signal Overlap: Overlapping emission spectra of fluorophores can lead to data inaccuracies.
-
Phototoxicity and Sample Damage: Prolonged light exposure can harm living cells and degrade fluorophores.
-
Physiological Conditions: Maintaining optimal temperature, pH, oxygen levels, and humidity is essential for accurate results.
-
Complex Image Acquisition: Sequential imaging can miss rapid processes and reduce temporal resolution.
This eBook explores innovative solutions including the FluoSync and the Mica Microhub technologies designed to streamline multiplex imaging. FluoSync eliminates crosstalk and accelerates workflows with simultaneous multicolor imaging. The Mica system integrates advanced imaging with an incubator to ensure stable physiological conditions while minimizing light exposure and user intervention. These advancements simplify experimental setups, enhance temporal resolution, and enable long-term live cell studies with minimal training.
