STEMvision™ is a bench-top instrument and computer system designed specifically for automated imaging and counting of hematopoietic colonies in the colony-forming unit (CFU) assay . Instead of manually identifying and counting colonies using a microscope, the user simply loads a SmartDish™ culture plate containing up to 6 individual CFU assays in MethoCult™ medium into the automated CFU counter. The instrument captures an image of each 35 mm well, which is then analyzed using specialized software for each type of assay. By using an automated CFU counter to standardize colony counting, cord blood banks, transplant labs and research labs can ensure that their CFU assay results are accurate and reproducible.
Core Features
· Automated Imaging & Counting: Replaces manual microscopy by automatically capturing high-resolution images of entire culture wells and scoring colonies using advanced digital algorithm
Specific Classification: Accurately differentiates and quantifies distinct human or mouse progenitor cell subtypes, such as erythroid (BFU-E/CFU-E), myeloid (CFU-G/M/GM), and multi-potential (CFU-GEMM) colonies.
· Standardization: Minimizes the inter-operator variability and subjectivity inherent to human scoring, maintaining absolute data consistency
Smartware Integration: Optimized for use with meniscus-free SmartDish™ cultureware plates, ensuring all colonies stay in a single focal plane for perfect counting accuracy
· Media Compatibility: Functions alongside specialized MethoCult™ media formulations for both fast 7-day or traditional 14-day assays.
Permanent Digital Records: Archives complete digital images of culture wells, allowing teams to review, audit, or manually recount samples at any point.
· Regulatory Compliance: Offers an optional 21 CFR Part 11 compliance software add-on to support electronic records secure enough for FDA-regulated environments. Custom Reporting: Generates specialized report layouts, including detailed "Lab" reports for transplant physicians and accessible "Parent" reports for private cord blood banks.
· Dimensions (W × D × H). 18.82" × 13.19" × 13.66")
· Weight 65 lbs.
