Description
In order to meet DoDs need for in-line, non-invasive and non-destructive cell monitoring in dynamically growing cultures ChromoLogic proposes to develop a Cell Monitoring by Optical Coherence Tomography (CM-OCT) system that is based on Optical Coherence Tomography.By building on CLs 10+ years core competency in biophysics, bioengineering, tissue culture, and medical devices, CM-OCT is a device that relies on an OCT system and subsequent imaging assay. Without introducing any contamination or destroying any samples, CM-OCT will enable a novice user to measure the cell viability, cell differentiation and microbial contamination in many types of cell cultures, including 3D cultures.
