nqScope
Monitor your cells. Without ever opening the incubator.
nqScope is a compact, high-resolution microscope that lives inside your incubator, connected directly to ibidi µ-Slides for continuous imaging of your entire channel.
No removing samples. No temperature shock. No interrupted growth.
Just observe, capture, and analyse, while your cells stay exactly where they belong.
With QubeDot
- Place nqScope in the incubator with your ibidi µ-Slides and pump system.
- Monitor continuously at any time, in any position and with zero interruption.
- Let the software count cells and also predict your optimal harvest time.
- Harvest exactly when the data says it’s time.
The old way
- Remove samples from the incubator every time you need to observe.
- Interrupt growth, stress your cells, and hope for the best.
- Repeat.
Key Specifications
Continuous Live-Cell Monitoring
No more pulling samples out of the incubator for every check.
nqScope images your cells continuously, so their growth phase is never interrupted.
Full-Channel, High-Resolution Imaging
The entire channel of your ibidi µ-Slide is observed and imaged in high resolution.
Navigate to specific positions, revisit them, and track changes over time.
Built-In Intelligence
Every nqScope comes with software for stage control, image capture, and time-lapse creation.
But the real edge is what happens next.
An optional analytics plugin measures cell area, counts cells, and predicts your optimal harvest time, automatically.
No manual analysis.
No guesswork.
Compact enough to sit inside standard cell culture incubators.
Designed specifically for ibidi µ-Slides.
One interface for stage control, image capture, and time-lapse recording.
With the analytics plugin: automated cell counting and harvest prediction.
