The Incucyte® Live-Cell Analysis System enables real-time, automated phagocytosis assays within your cell culture incubator.
A guide to real-time live-cell imaging & analysis
Gain additional insights into the mechanism of immune cell killing by combining live cell analysis and flow cytometry into a single workflow
Download Your CopyCommon methods used to assess phagocytosis are often single point (e.g. High Content Analysis (HCA)), require cell lifting (e.g. flow cytometry) or washing/quenching of the labelled pathogen (e.g. fluorescein labelled).
