The Sartorius Incucyte SX5 Live Cell Imager is a state-of-the-art automated platform designed for live-cell analysis, enabling researchers to monitor cellular behavior in real time within a controlled incubator environment. Its compact dual-component design comprises the SX5 Controller and SX5 Gantry, which together facilitate high-resolution imaging with integrated optics. Equipped with multiple optical channels including phase and fluorescent capabilities, the SX5 supports complex assays such as proliferation, migration, and cytotoxicity. The intuitive touchscreen interface simplifies operation, while included accessories like ImageLock plates and optical components optimize experimental consistency. Manufactured recently in December 2022, this instrument is ideal for advanced cell biology, oncology, and drug discovery research requiring continuous kinetic measurements over extended periods.
