Introduction

In the drug discovery market, the demand for high-content analysis systems for drug efficacy evaluation screening is ever increasing year by year.
The norm has shifted from 2D to 3D and live cell evaluation.
In addition, the construction of more complex evaluation systems are sought after, including experimental systems in environments closer to the human body such as organoids that reproduce parts of various organs or organs-on-chips, as well as Cell Painting, which morphologically profiles cellular components and organelles by multicolor imaging using multiple fluorescent dyes.

Solution

The CellVoyager High-Content Analysis System CQ3000 is a benchtop HCA system capable of acquiring high resolution images at high speed.
Yokogawa‘s proprietary technology, the Confocal Scanner Unit “CSU”, and a high-precision incubator enable stable live cell observation and high-speed imaging with low photobleaching and phototoxicity.
By combining options according to your application, we can provide the best system for you. Water immersion objective lens with high NA for easy observation of deep areas, uniform illumination effective for tile imaging such as tissue sections, and Target Search for automatic imaging of samples matching the conditions, all contribute greatly not only to improving the quality of experiments but also to speeding up and automating them.
In combination with the dedicated analysis software CellPathfinder, which supports Deep Learning, the system can support complex analysis and display results in graph form.

Detects two colors at the same time, so acquisition time is reduced.
In addition, if confocal performance is unnecessary such as during low magnification imaging, widefield imaging can further shorten the exposure time. 

When it comes to Yokogawa, it’s all about live-cell imaging

Live-cell imaging

CQ3000 achieves culturing and imaging while maintaining the same environment as a conventional CO2 incubator.
It’s not only environmentally friendly, but it also minimizes the impact on cells.

High-resolution images that hold tons of information

  • Water immersion lens captures clear images with a high SNR.
  • In addition to fine observation via high magnification, it can accurately analyze images even with FOVs smaller than before due to the high-NA lens.
High-resolution images that hold tons of information

​​​​​Our high-NA 20x water immersion lens developed in-house allows for image resolutions higher than a 20x dry lens. You can use 40x and 60x for efficient image analysis.

Uniformizer

Adjusts the excitation system for even excitation across the entire field of view. It acquires images with flat luminance distribution, with no difference in brightness between the center and periphery of the image. In tiling analysis where multiple fields of view are stitched and evaluated, it can reduce the shading-derived brightness difference at the seams between the fields of view, enabling analysis with less influence from the seams.

Software

Target Search

It can scan the entire well at low magnification, detect the position of the object based on the analysis results, and acquire images at high magnification. This makes it possible to image samples where it is not possible to know where the object is located in the well, or to image and analyze only the cells that match the conditions from among a large number of cells.

Target Search

  • High magnification imaging only in the field where the target is detected, greatly reducing the amount of data and throughput.
  • Reduce unnecessary images and tiling by imaging at the center of the target.
  • Automation of the two imaging processes reduces human intervention time and human error.

 

Fast Time Lapse Function

Capable of capturing up to 100 images per second (100 fps) simultaneously with two wavelengths.
It makes possible to capture fast dynamics such as myocardial pulsation, calcium firing, and intra-axonal signal transduction can be captured, which have been difficult to capture until now.

Fast Time Lapse Function

Fast Time Lapse Function

Calcium signal waveform fluctuating periodically in response to myocardial pulsation (upper panel). High-speed imaging at 100 frames per second allows the fast-rising portions of the waveform to be captured at a sufficient sampling frequency. High-speed imaging at 100 frames per second allows the fast-rising portions of the waveform to be captured at a sufficient sampling frequency.

 

CE- Bright Field 

Creates two types of contrast-enhanced images from bright-field images acquired at multiple Z positions. One is an epifluorescence-like image (Fluor Type), which is useful for recognition of cell nuclei. The other is a normal DPC-like image (Phase Type), which is useful for recognizing cytoplasm.
By enhancing the contours of the brightfield image, changes in the state of the cell can be accurately identified. It is also effective when it is difficult to recognize regions in brightfield image analysis.

Analysis software : High content analysis system CellPathfinder(Option)

The intuitive, easy-to-use interface guides the user from analyzing thousands of image data in various angles to visualize the result by generating numerous graph types.
In addition, the Machine Learning and Deep Learning function increase the target recognition capability dramatically. It is also ideal for the analysis with the complexity and high-degree-of-difficulty such as analyzing the data from 3D culture and live-cell imaging.
The CellPathfinder software is a powerful tool for HCA.
