Image-Based Sample QC
Know what you are loading before you pay to sequence it
Traditional cell preparation is a black box: sample quality shows up after the expensive assay has run. With LeviCell Insight, every well of a levitation array is imaged at once, so you can check cell health, aggregation and purity in all your samples while they are still in the array.

- Why image every sample
Stop guessing. Start seeing.
Spot checks use up precious cells, sequential imaging and stitching slow everything down, and single-cell assays are often loaded with unknown dead-cell and debris contamination. Imaging the whole array in one capture replaces all three with a visual record of every sample.
| The old way | With LeviCell Insight |
|---|---|
| Manual spot checks that use up precious cells | Every well imaged at once, without touching the cells |
| Long, sequential image acquisition and stitching | One capture for the whole array |
| Loading single-cell assays with unknown dead-cell and debris contamination | Visual confirmation of input quality before you load |
Fast, simple workflow
Levitate
Live cells separate from dead cells and debris on the LeviCell 12 or 96, based on their physical properties and without labels.
Image
5 min. LeviCell Insight images every well at once, in brightfield.
Collect
Take forward only the samples that pass, and keep the images with the data.
- LeviCell Insight software
See every sample on one screen
The LeviCell Insight software shows a live brightfield view of all 96 wells of the array, laid out by row and column. Select any well to see it enlarged next to the plate, with the run name, start time and elapsed time alongside.
- Applications
Where image-based QC pays off
Pre-sort and pre-sequencing QC
Confirm the viable cell band in every well at the same time, before loading single-cell systems such as 10x Genomics. Weak samples are caught before they use up sequencing budget.
Organoids and spheroids
Assess the structure, size and health of complex cell models in every well, for high-throughput screening campaigns.
Cell culture monitoring and clean-up
Follow morphology and health over time for every culture without moving the plate, then enrich live cells on the LeviCell 96 in the same workflow.
Drug screening
Run high-content imaging assays such as toxicity and proliferation across the whole plate, with a visual readout for every well.
Imaging for any cell type
- Brightfield, no stain: high-contrast images without labels, for morphology and for spotting debris and aggregates
- Adherent and non-adherent cells: from suspended PBMCs to sensitive adherent cells, without special handling
- Plate to answer in minutes: quick acquisition and a simple workflow, without complex setup or lengthy training
- A QC record for every sample: images stored with the downstream data add sample-level metadata to large, model-ready datasets
