Introducing: New autonomous cell imaging platform- HERMES 24/7
The customer inspired Hermes 24/7 establishes a new standard for simplicity and compactness in completely automated, image-based experimentation. IDEA Bio-Medical’s in-house expertise in areas of precision machine design, manufacture and software development enabled the creation of the new Hermes 24/7 fully automated setup, which includes sample-manipulator and high content imaging system as a tailor-made solution satisfying the demanding requirements set forth by the market of high content screening. The new HERMES 24/7 system for autonomous cell imaging integrates a manipulator arm manufactured by IDEA Bio-Medical with our Hermes high content imaging system, all placed on a dedicated mobile cart with footprint of just 1.3m2 to fit into even the most crowded lab space. The Hermes 24/7 also includes the Athena application-based analysis software, which performs automated analysis of the images acquired on the Hermes system. This newly launched platform is suited for researchers seeking an automated solution for large-scale screening of their image-based experiments in cellular models, with emphasis on:- Flexible interface with existing equipment (liquid handlers, plate stackers, incubators, etc.)
- Small footprint
- As few suppliers involved as possible
- High magnification of at least 60x
- Brightfield & Fluorescence imaging
- Z-stack acquisition
- Automated image analysis
