WAKEFIELD, Mass., Oct. 9, 2020 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/--

Thrive Bioscience introduces the CellAssist(R) which enables cell culture

researchers to image, analyze, and document all cells, plates, reagents, and

workflow details in a centralized database. The CellAssist was developed by

Thrive Bioscience, an innovator in cell culture systems, in collaboration with

several highly-regarded academic institutions.

The CellAssist raises the bar for adherent cell culture by imaging and

analyzing all the cells in a plate, not just cells chosen during typical manual

inspection. Minutes after inserting a standard multi-well plate, the CellAssist

captures, analyzes and displays hundreds of high-resolution images of cells at

multiple magnifications, using phase contrast or bright-field. The visualization

and analysis software allow researchers to comprehensively review images and

metrics of the entire history of a project from one's office or laboratory.

"The CellAssist solves cell culture problems widely experienced by researchers

and laboratory managers, including inconsistent and partial imaging of plates

of cells, a lack of objective metrics, and incomplete documentation," said

Thomas Forest Farb-Horch, Thrive Bioscience CEO and Co-Founder. "The CellAssist

enables reproducible cell culture by capturing comparable images over time with

barcoding and time-stamped documentation."

"In cell biology, many of the important questions are raised after experiments

are completed," explained Steven Sheridan, Ph.D., Director, Platform for

Cellular Modeling of Neuropsychiatric Disease, Center for Genomic Medicine,

Massachusetts General Hospital. "With the CellAssist, we capture images and

data, systematically and without the limitations that would later restrict our

inquiries and insights. The database of images with related documentation

becomes a valuable asset that helps us understand, analyze, and archive

cellular metrics, unlike what we have previously achieved."

The CellAssist is available for shipment internationally. For more information,
