The CellReporterXpress Automated Image Acquisition and Analysis Software works with the ImageXpress® Pico system. It has a simple, easy-to-learn interface for performing quantitative analysis on images acquired from automated microscopy. The software enables distributed analysis of images for increased throughput and is ideal for scaling your digital microscopy imaging with slides or microplates. An icon-driven, linear workflow with a range of predefined protocols provides a streamlined user experience. With features such as Automated focus algorithms for a variety of applications including custom organ-on-a-chip plates, Digital Confocal 2D on-the-fly image deconvolution, and Live Preview advanced region of interest identification, you can save time while improving assay quality and significantly increasing resolution.
CellReporterXpress software, along with the ImageXpress Pico system, does more than imaging—it offers unparalleled analysis capabilities that simplifies image analysis for cell-based assays.
Automated focus algorithms for a variety of applications
Two robust autofocus mechanisms: Detect Surface for hardware autofocus, and Find Best Plane for image-based autofocus. Provides reliable focusing across all of your labware to ensure high-quality imaging for a wide variety of sample types.
Increase resolution with on-the-fly deconvolution
Enhance contrast of images during acquisition with the Digital Confocal* 2D on-the-fly deconvolution option, allowing you to increase resolution and improve assay quality.
Identify regions of interest quickly and easily
Live Preview simplifies identification of regions of interest, letting you pan around the sample and interactively adjust focus with a virtual joystick, saving time and effort.
Monitor live cell assays with on-board environmental control
Multi-day, time-lapse, and live cell assays can be run using the on-board environmental system with options for humidity, CO2, and O2 control. Optimized to prevent Z-drift, the software also provides real-time monitoring of environmental state, ensuring optimal assay conditions.
Features multi-wavelength cell scoring with up to four fluorescent stains
The preconfigured protocol is ideal for counting and logging measurements of cells in multiple wavelength experiments. Using a fluorescent marker for the nucleus and additional markers for the cytoplasm, each wavelength is analyzed and cells are assigned multiparametric phenotypic profiles.
Capture deeper insights with Z-stack acquisition
Generate sharper images for more accurate segmentation using Z -stack acquisition. Acquire a series of images at different focal points to capture more detail than with a single slice. Users can include all slices or select which slices to include in the final projection.
Over 25 preconfigured analysis protocols ranging from simple cell counting to sophisticated neurite tracing analysis. With features like the click-to-find tool, analysis parameters can be optimized by simply clicking on a few cells that match specific criteria.

Live cell imaging is the study of cellular structure and function in living cells via microscopy. It enables the visualization and quantitation of dynamic cellular processes in real time. Live cell imaging encompasses a broad range of topics and biological applications—whether it is performing long-term kinetic assays or fluorescently labeling live cells.
Toxicology is the study of adverse effects of natural or man-made chemicals on living organism. It is a growing concern in our world today as we are exposed to more and more chemicals, both in our environment and in the products we use.

Mitochondrial function, a key indicator of cell health, can be assessed by monitoring changes in mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP)1,2. Mitochondrial depolarization is an early signal for hypoxic damage or oxidative stress. Cationic fluorescent dyes are commonly used tools to assess MMP. We performed a short-term (60 min) compound treatment with two known inhibitors of oxidative phosphorylation, Antimycin A and CCCP.
Apoptosis is a process of programmed cell death that occurs in multicellular organisms.1,2 Biochemical events lead to characteristic changes in cell morphology and cell death. Morphological changes include cell shrinkage, nuclear fragmentation, chromatin condensation, chromosomal DNA fragmentation, and mRNA decay. Apoptosis is a highly regulated process that can be initiated via the intrinsic pathway as a response to various stressors including starvation, infection, hypoxia, oxidative stress, etc. Mitochondria damage plays an important role in the initiation of apoptosis. In the extrinsic pathway, apoptosis is initiated by external signals, including tumor necrosis factor receptor family-mediated signaling. Both pathways induce cell death by activating caspase enzymes.
Autophagy is a highly regulated process of degrading and recycling damaged proteins and organelles in response to cellular stress.1, 2 It is mediated by a unique vesicle called the autophagosome, which is assembled by the formation of a double membrane around the cellular component marked for destruction.1 The autophagosome vesicle then fuses with the lysosome to deliver its contents for degradation by lysosomal hydrolases.
