FAQ for Live-Cell Imaging and Analysis Instrument: Incucyte® S3
The fluorescent channels vary depending on the instrument. The Incucyte® S3 comes standard with two-color Green/Red fluorescence plus HD phase contrast imaging, but users have the option to separately purchase an Orange/NIR Optical Module for studies with sensitive cells that require imaging at longer wavelengths.
All Incucyte® models provide multi-user support with unlimited, free user licenses. Additionally, multiple assays can be run and imaged in different channels in parallel. However, only the Incucyte® SX5 and S3 support independent vessel scheduling for different image acquisition frequencies, and the Incucyte® SX5 is the only instrument equipped with an automated turret, providing multi-objective scheduling support.
The Incucyte® itself is not an incubator, but rather sits within a standard tissue culture incubator so cells are maintained in a physiologically relevant environment. For the Incucyte® S3, an incubator larger than 200L is recommended.
The Incucyte® S3 is a great instrument for your company. Incucyte® S3 shares the same highest maximum throughput as the Incucyte® SX5 but supports only the phase channel as well as green and red fluorescence.
Because we want to provide the best and most relevant support to your research, Sartorius experts are available to demonstrate the features and benefits of our live-cell imaging and analysis systems in a personalized manner.
