Thermo Scientific CellInsight CX7 LZR Pro High-Content Confocal Analysis Platform

The Thermo Scientific CellInsight CX7 LZR Pro is a high-content confocal analysis platform engineered for automated, high-throughput cellular imaging in biotechnology and biomedical research. This advanced instrument integrates confocal and widefield optics with a high-resolution, thermoelectrically cooled sCMOS camera offering >95% peak quantum efficiency and 16-bit detection for precise fluorescence quantification.

Key specifications include:

• Imaging modalities: Confocal, widefield fluorescence, and brightfield imaging optimized for 2D and 3D cell culture models.
• Laser-based illumination: Equipped with seven class 3B lasers spanning UV to near-IR wavelengths (405 nm to 785 nm) enabling multiplexed fluorescence assays.
• Optics: Infinity corrected system with 10x/0.40, 20x/0.45, and 40x/0.60 objectives on a 3-position changer.
• Confocal pinholes: 40 µm and 70 µm for optical sectioning suitable for organoid and live-cell imaging workflows.
• Autofocus: Laser-based autofocus ensures consistent, sub-micron focus across microplates, critical for time-lapse and high-throughput phenotypic screening.
• Plate compatibility: Supports clear-bottom 96-, 384-, and 1536-well microplates plus up to 4 glass slides simultaneously.
• Software: Controlled via HCS Studio software, facilitating multiplex fluorescence imaging, automated plate handling, and assay customization.
• Barcode reader: Integrated multi-symbology barcode reader supports sample tracking in molecular diagnostics and biomanufacturing pipelines.

This platform is widely adopted in biotechnology fields including molecular diagnostics, drug discovery, synthetic biology, and bioprocessing due to its robustness in multiplexed fluorescence detection and rapid 3D image acquisition capabilities. The system supports applications such as high-content phenotypic screening, toxicity assessment, cell signaling pathway analysis, and organoid imaging, making it essential for molecular cloning workflows and advanced cell imaging studies.

The CX7 LZR Pro undergoes rigorous in-house testing and preventative maintenance ensuring full functionality, accurate stage movement, and reliable optics alignment. It features remote setup and training support with optional environmental controls. Ideal for researchers demanding precision, automation, and versatility in high-throughput confocal imaging for biomedical engineering and biopharmaceutical production pipelines.
