PRODUCT
3D morphology and internal structure
- OCT is the technique that can acquire the tomogram of the live cell or organism without aggression .Detailed observation for 3D structure of spheroids that conventional microscopes cannot recognize
Noninvasive and timelapse
- Non-invasive, real-time observation of tomographic images and 3D morphology of spheroids, from their formation to collapse after addition of anti-cancer drugs, using OCT technology with weak near-infrared light
Easy operation
- Simple operation on the PC screen.
- Unnecessary of special training & expert technique.
- Compatible with general micro well plates (SBS format) and culture dish.Because of the same workflow with microscope, it enables to reduce experiment cost and burden on researcher
FEATURES
3D morphological analyses for cultures / internal structures with OCT
OCT is the technique that can acquire the tomogram of the live cell or organism without aggression by using feeble near-infrared light.
Researchers can acquire 3D image safety and in real time without having any obstacles action for the living body as they use our device.
Observation of internal structure
- Spheroid internal cavity morphology(Prof. Tamio Mizukami, Nagahama Institute of Bio-Science and Technology)
- Neovasculature(Prof. Yukiko T. Matsunaga, University of Tokyo)
Tomographic imaging of living organisms/cell microstructure imaging
- Ovary(Prof. Nobuo Nagai, Nagahama Institute of Bio-Science and Technology)
- Kidney spheroid(Prof. Tetsuya Ohbayashi, Tottori University)
Time-lapse observation by non-invasive and label-free analysis
- Real time observation from spheroid formation to collapse after addition of anti-cancer drug
- Detailed observation for 3D structure of spheroids that conventional microscopes cannot recognize
Compatibility for conventional labwares
- Compatible with general micro well plates (SBS format) and culture dish
- Specific well plates optimized for 3D culture such as "Corning® Elplasia® " is also available

Skin Irritation test : Evaluation of thickness in skin model using OCT technology
To summarize, we observed that by using the low magnification mode, we were able to obtain the thickness information of the entire 24-well insert. In high magnification mode, we were able to obtain thickness information of two layers, stratum corneum and cell layer, non-invasively. We conclude that the Cell3iMager Estier equipped with OCT technology can be used to measure the thickness of stacked cell sheets in real time and implemented as “Skin irritation test” to evaluate safety of topical creams/agents developed by Biotech and Pharma industry.

Thickness of cell sheet
NHDF sheets were imaged by Cell3iMager Estier, and thickness of sheets were calculated from these images.
-
Real volume of spheroids
The volume of spheroids that stepwise cell number seeding, is quantified by using Cell3iMager Estier.
