YOKOGAWA INTRODUCES CELLVOYAGER HIGH-CONTENT ANALYSIS SYSTEM CQ3000
CQ3000 facilitates greater efficiency in drug discovery and regenerative medicine R&D, and the swift commercialization of new drugs.
CellVoyager High-Content Analysis System CQ3000
Yokogawa Electric Corporation announced the development of the CellVoyager High-Content Analysis System CQ3000 as part of the CellVoyager™ high-content analysis (HCA) system solution lineup, which includes cell observation devices and image analysis software. This product is scheduled to go on sale in July 2024.
The CQ3000 can capture high-definition 3D microscopic images of live cell cultures at high speeds. When used together with the CellPathfinder image analysis software, it can quantify and analyze intracellular organelles to assess cellular reactions and the effects of drug compounds. It enables the highly efficient assessment of cells in a wide range of settings, from basic research to drug discovery screening.
Main Features
This CellVoyager product is a mid-range HCA system that enables high-resolution live cell imaging in the same way as the CellVoyager CQ1 benchtop high-content analysis system and the CellVoyager CV8000 high-throughput cytological discovery system. This new model will give users a wider range of choices in applications ranging from basic research to large-scale screening and can be offered in combination with products such as the CellPathfinder high-content analysis software to provide solutions that suit every requirement and budget.
1. High-definition observation of living cells over long time periods
The CQ3000 enables the stable and precise observation of live cell cultures over long time periods thanks to Yokogawa's high-precision temperature control and dual spinning-disk with microlens that captures optical slice images (confocal images) with higher speed and better sensitivity, which minimizes damage to cells compared to other confocal systems on the market.
2. High speed screening
The CQ3000 can capture images of microplates at high speed due to enhancements in the stage control and auto-focus functions. When used in combination with the optional dual camera and wide-field image capture features, which uniformly captures the entire field of view, image capture time is reduced. This product enables the high-speed selection of promising chemical compounds from vast numbers of new drug candidates.
3. High image quality
By using Yokogawa's proprietary water immersion lens mechanism, in addition to detailed observation at high magnification levels, it is also possible to capture bright images at low magnification levels. The use of an optional uniformizer achieves even illumination across the entire field of view, for the capture of vivid images.

About CellVoyager
CellVoyager is Yokogawa's HCA system solution. To suit customers' requirements, optimum solutions that combine cell observation devices (CV8000, CQ1, CQ3000) and image analysis software (CellPathfinder) can be provided.
These HCA systems enable high-speed screening and are comprised of a confocal scanner unit for the real-time observation of living cells and a drive mechanism for the high-speed observation of large numbers of samples that was developed based on precision positioning technology originally used on semiconductor and LCD production lines. Their high-speed screening, high resolution, and ability to capture images as chemical compounds are administered (for the observations of changes to cells) are highly regarded, and they have helped to accelerate the development of new drugs and streamline basic research processes in cutting-edge biology and medical fields.
