PAULA, how are my cells today?

Smart Cell Imager PAULA

The Personal AUtomated Lab Assistant PAULA helps you to speed up your daily cell culture tasks and standardize the results to improve your downstream workflow, offering you essential analysis apps like confluence check. It is small enough to fit on any lab bench or even directly in an incubator, so it can stay faithfully by your cells. It helps you to ensure that your cells are ready for the next step - and everything is well documented. PAULA is fast, smart, and always in contact with you if you want.

Automating essential steps allows you to perform more reproducible downstream experiments:

  • No more guesswork - measuring instead of guessing
  • Peace of mind – automatic documentation of your cell culture tasks
  • Customized analysis - your personal settings automatically recorded

With the PAULA Cell Imager you will manage your cell cultures instead of just culturing them.

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.
