CRi announces the release of new and improved software for the Oosight? Imaging System, the next-generation of CRi?s own, original, industry-leading SpindleView? system.
- Faster: Near real-time imaging (both through the eyepieces and on the computer screen)
- Easier: Single-click image acquisition
- Smarter: Automatic generation and storage of quantitative data designed for busy multi-user laboratories
- Quantitative: Retardance and orientation data that is automatically generated by the system for more robust oocyte quality assessments
- Affordable: Low-cost solutions now available
Use Oosight for IVF and stem cell applications, imaging the meiotic and mitotic spindle, the three-layered zona pellucida, and other birefringent structures, including sperm and dividing embryos. Assess the quality of living oocytes. Non-invasively locate and position the spindle for ICSI. Monitor changes in spindle parameters from oocyte-to-oocyte. Identify when a spindle has been disrupted and formed a multipolar structure. Remove the spindle in nuclear transfer techniques without using Hoechst dye DNA staining, thus minimizing damage to vital cytoplasmic organelles. Track the changing molecular organization of the zona pellucida through embryo development.
