MultE-Plate System
MultE-Plate (MP) System is composed of four main components: W300 RT-CES® analyzer, MP station, a computer which runs the RT-CES® MP Software and 96 well E-Plates. The MP station is located inside a tissue culture incubator and is capable of switching any one of the wells on the E-Plates to the RT-CES® analyzer for impedance measurement. Under the MP software control, RT-CES® analyzer can automatically select wells for measurement and continuously transfer measured impedance data to the computer. Cell index values, derived from the measured impedances, are continuously displayed and plotted by the Software. Additional data analysis Software is available for processing real-time data to derive multiple assay parameters such as EC50/IC50, cell index doubling time, cell index slope.

MP System Highlights
  • Higher assay throughput: Accommodating up to six 96X E-Plates simultaneously
  • Flexibility: Independent operation of six E-Plates by up to six different users
  • Easy to use: Motorized mechanism for E-Plate® engagement onto MP station
  • Clear data presentation: A 96-well graph to show individual cell index curves for all 96-wells
