Agilent xCELLigence RTCA MP Real-Time Cell Analyzer W380 with 6×96 E-Plate Station

Agilent xCELLigence RTCA MP Real-Time Cell Analyzer W380 is a pre-owned, serviced impedance-based cell analysis system configured with an Agilent RTCA MP Station 6×96. It provides label-free, real-time monitoring of cell health, viability, proliferation, adhesion, migration, barrier function, and drug-induced responses.

The system supports up to six 96-well E-Plates and operates inside a standard CO2 incubator while maintaining external instrument control. It is suitable for cell biology, drug discovery, immunotherapy, cytotoxicity screening, viral research, receptor signaling, biotechnology, and biopharmaceutical development workflows.

Testing and condition

The instrument was serviced and tested by an in-house technical team. Testing included power-up and initialization, self-check procedures, internal electronics inspection, corrosion and contact inspection, plate-lock sensor testing, status LED inspection, software communication testing, recognition of all six plate positions, and resistance-plate verification under full-load conditions.

An optional CO2 incubator may be available separately. RTCA E-Plates, E-Plate Inserts, and xCELLigence Immunotherapy Kits are required consumables.
