Thrive Bioscience Launches the CellAssist to Provide Imaging, Analytics, and Documentation for Reproducible Cell Culture
WAKEFIELD, Mass., Oct. 9, 2020 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/--

Thrive Bioscience introduces the CellAssist(R) which enables cell culture 
researchers to image, analyze, and document all cells, plates, reagents, and 
workflow details in a centralized database. The CellAssist was developed by 
Thrive Bioscience, an innovator in cell culture systems, in collaboration with 
several highly-regarded academic institutions.

The CellAssist raises the bar for adherent cell culture by imaging and 
analyzing all the cells in a plate, not just cells chosen during typical manual 
inspection. Minutes after inserting a standard multi-well plate, the CellAssist 
captures, analyzes and displays hundreds of high-resolution images of cells at 
multiple magnifications, using phase contrast or bright-field. The 
visualization and analysis software allow researchers to comprehensively review 
images and metrics of the entire history of a project from one's office or 
laboratory.

"The CellAssist solves cell culture problems widely experienced by researchers 
and laboratory managers, including inconsistent and partial imaging of plates 
of cells, a lack of objective metrics, and incomplete documentation," said 
Thomas Forest Farb-Horch, Thrive Bioscience CEO and Co-Founder. "The CellAssist 
enables reproducible cell culture by capturing comparable images over time with 
barcoding and time-stamped documentation."

"In cell biology, many of the important questions are raised after experiments 
are completed," explained Steven Sheridan, Ph.D., Director, Platform for 
Cellular Modeling of Neuropsychiatric Disease, Center for Genomic Medicine, 
Massachusetts General Hospital. "With the CellAssist, we capture images and 
data, systematically and without the limitations that would later restrict our 
inquiries and insights. The database of images with related documentation 
becomes a valuable asset that helps us understand, analyze, and archive 
cellular metrics, unlike what we have previously achieved." 

The CellAssist is available for shipment internationally. For more information,
