PAULA, how are my cells today?
Smart Cell Imager PAULA
The world’s first Personal AUtomated Lab Assistant PAULA helps you to speed up your daily cell culture tasks and standardize the results to improve your downstream workflow. It is small enough to stay faithfully by your cells on any lab bench or even directly in an incubator. It has the capability to tell you when your cells are ready for the next step in the workflow. PAULA is fast, smart, and always in contact with you if you want.
Automating essential steps allows you to
- Save time by memorizing your personal settings
- Take away all the guesswork
- Stay connected with the lab to monitor your cells at all times
With PAULA Cell Imager you will manage your cell cultures instead of just culturing them.
Catch the perfect moment
Starting a transfection experiment when the cells have reached exactly the right confluence status takes a lot of effort! So far, this has meant checking the cells again and again - even at the weekend. But this can be done in a smarter way: let PAULA handle it for you.
PAULA sits inside a standard incubator and acquires time-lapse image recordings for the analysis of confluence, transfection efficiency*, and wound-healing*. PAULA sends you a notification via e-mail when the desired status is reached - wherever you are.
No more wasting your valuable time on tedious, routine cell-check tasks. PAULA allows you to monitor your cells whenever you want and from wherever you are. Even while you are at home sitting relaxed in your living room chair.

Take away the guesswork
PAULA checks cell line characteristics, like confluence, for you. This brings the usual guessing game, where several people just give estimated values of the confluence, to an end. PAULA gives you a reproducible result fast and unambiguously.
PAULA scans and identifies your flasks within milliseconds using the integrated barcode reader. This keeps everything under control, even when the time is tight. PAULA stores the documentation in a database - organized, traceable, and dependable.
PAULA even memorizes your personal settings for each specimen and recalls them at any time the same specimen is being checked.
The perfect networker
PAULA stays at the place in the cell culture lab where you need it to be: on the bench, in the incubator, under the hood. The control options are flexible enough to keep you connected with your cell lab even from far away when you are somewhere else.
Operate PAULA directly with a touch monitor or via a wireless connection with a tablet. It doesn’t matter what platform you prefer, whether Windows, iOS, or Android.
Do you need to compare simultaneously different cell lines over time? Sure, why not do that. Up to 4* PAULA imagers can team up, allowing you to acquire and analyze 4 independent samples at the same time.

From simple imaging to cell based assays
Do you plan to image or analyze large cell populations? Your assistant PAULA supports you with alignment-free phase contrast, multi-fluorescence, and time-lapse imaging, as well as confluence checks, under physiological conditions.
PAULA can learn and soon will provide additional cell-based assays for transfection-efficiency checks, and wound-healing.
