CellInsight CX5 High-Content Screening (HCS) Platform
The Thermo Scientific CellInsight CX5 High-Content Screening (HCS) Platform is a compact, affordable screening system for researchers looking to increase scale and capacity in everyday use.
Increase your screening throughput with CellInsight CX5 Platform
With the compact and powerful CellInsight CX5 High-Content Screening Platform you can read and analyze a 96-well plate in under four minutes. Designed for researchers looking to increase their screening throughput, the platform offers common excitation wavelengths for fluorescence and white light illumination for colorimetric samples. The system is ready for full automation with 96-, 384-, or 1,536-well plates, or you can analyze your tissue sections one slide at a time to work up your next assay.

Reagents optimized for high-content screening
Drawing on decades of experience in fluorescence imaging, our HCS products are developed using Thermo Scientific High-Content Platforms with special considerations for the high-throughput workflow and automated imaging:
- Cell and nuclear masks for automated demarcation
- Robust functional probes for cell health interrogation
- Flexible assay workflow for automated processing
- Broad fluorophore choice for easy multiplexing
- Validated on multiple imaging platforms
Select reagents for use with the CellInsight CX5
Other cell structure and segmentation tools
Clear identification of cell and nuclear boundaries in automated imaging requires fiducial markers that will label cellular structures robustly and reproducibly. Cell masks are designed specifically for automated imaging. Molecular Probes cell structure labels are widely used in microscope imaging and HCS.
