Cells are constantly growing and differentiating, and these processes are known to be closely linked to metabolism. In the field of cancer immunology, stem cell research, and the development of manufacturing processes for cell-based formulations, understanding the metabolic state of cells is a factor of ever-growing importance in the analysis of cell activation and disease. Continuous analysis of cell metabolism offers the ability to visualize the state of cells in real time, creating opportunities for unprecedented new discoveries in cell metabolism. The PHCbi Live cell metabolic analyzer will open new doors to those discoveries.
In-Line sensors: the key to continuous measurements of glucose and lactate
The glycolytic pathway is one of the main components of cellular energy metabolism. During glycolysis, glucose is taken up into cells and lactate is produced. Conventional analysis of cell metabolism typically involves estimating glucose and lactate concentrations from data points obtained from periodic sampling. With its unique high-precision In-Line sensors, the PHCbi Live cell metabolic analyzer offers these unique advantages:
real-time monitoring of glucose and lactate concentrations
continuous measurements
no sampling of the culture medium and the same cells can also be used for separate evaluation after measurement
Measure cells in their usual culture environment
The simple design of the PHCbi Live cell metabolic analyzer makes it suitable for any laboratory space. Plus, there is no need for specialized cell culture equipment.
