Incucyte® Neuronal Activity Analysis Software Module (Cat. No. 9600-0032)
Analyze the activity and connectivity of neuronal networks by capturing short-term kinetics over extended time periods while qualitatively monitoring cell morphology in each well of a 96-well plate. Module available for for Incucyte® Live-Cell Analysis Systems configured with Green/Orange/NIR or Orange/NIR optical module.
*Not available for ZOOM or FLR systems
Overview
The Incucyte® Neuronal Activity Analysis Software Module continuously interrogates changes in calcium dynamics for every active neuron within every well of a 96-well plate cell over time.
Longitudinal analysis and visualization of neuronal cell activity and connectivity is easily accomplished with purpose-built software tools and guided workflow.

Software Features
Capture short-term dynamics
- Utilize Incucyte® Stare mode acquisition for the capture of short-term, calcium-flux kinetics
- Quantify burst rate of thousands of cells in every movie while qualitatively monitoring cell morphology
Figure 2. Movie mode acquisition enables the capture of short-term dynamics of a neuronal specific genetically-encoded fluorescent calcium sensor (Incucyte® Neuroburst Orange Lentivirus).
Compare images, movies and metrics with ease
- Easily view calcium range images of all wells in your experiment at once and play activity movies with a single right-click of each well
- Assess a full set of relevant metrics at every time point
Figure 3. Assess experimental conditions using Incucyte® Vessel View (A) for every well of a 96-well plate. Process images of thousands of active neurons (B) with user-friendly guided interface. 96-well Summary Traces (C) of neuronal activity provide powerful insight into the activity of neurons at every time point.
Characterize long-term dynamic changes
- Interrogate kinetic data by evaluating active object traces at each time point
- Easily graph data to reveal longitudinal change
Figure 4. Active object traces (corner traces) provide detailed insight into the dynamic changes in neuronal activity and connectivity for every acquired movie. Kinetic graphs (center graph) of longitudinal, dynamic changes in neuronal activity are easily generated, enabling characterization of neuronal cell models as they mature over time.
