This company provides continuous, non-invasive cell monitoring through the integration of ultra-compact Cellwatchers and the PHIOme cloud-based AI platform. This system automates the tracking of cell growth, viability, motility, and drug response directly within the incubator. The result is objective, processed data delivered automatically, reducing manual workload and improving assay quality.

Problem
Traditional cell culture monitoring relies on manual, labor-intensive methods and endpoint assays, providing limited real-time data on cell growth, viability, and behavior within incubators. These methods are prone to variability, can disrupt the cell culture environment, and often miss critical events during experiments.
Solution
PHIO Scientific offers PHIOme, a cloud-based AI platform integrated with lensless Cellwatchers for continuous, non-invasive monitoring of cell cultures directly within incubators. The system provides real-time, objective data on cell growth, viability, motility, phenotype, and drug response, eliminating the need for manual cell counting and disruptive sampling. By automating data acquisition, analysis, and visualization, PHIOme reduces manual labor, minimizes variability, and improves the reproducibility of cell culture experiments. Researchers gain access to publication-ready results through a user-friendly cloud interface, enabling data-driven decisions and optimized cell culture conditions.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes researchers in cancer research, drug discovery, immunology, and other life science fields who require continuous, objective data on cell cultures for improved reproducibility and efficiency.
