Customer Application
Vow is a cultivated meat company, working on the cutting edge of cell culture trying to find the best species for delicious, scalable, and ethical food.
High-throughput screening and analysis are vital to reaching this goal, and the Zaber inverted microscope is an integral part of their process. The MVR is used as part of Vow’s screening pipelines to automatically acquire images of cells or colonies growing in SBS format well plates. Images are then processed and analyzed to extract cell count data used to assess cell line performance. Accurate, reliable, and fast imaging times are essential for this application to achieve scale and minimize the time necessary to take live cell measurements.
