AUTOMATIC, QUICK AND EFFECTIVE READINGS

Our WMicroTracker systems allow automatic readings of the behavior of tiny organisms. They are applicable to experimentation with fish larvae , worms and organisms of similar size. Our systems bring disruptive innovation in the measurement of compound toxicity, resistance to stress, search for new anthelmintics, metabolic, life-time and human disease models.

WMicrotracker ONE

Wmicrotracker ONE is optimized for measurements of animals cultured in a liquid medium by using a 96- or 384-well plate format.

It has been validated for use in C.elegans, parasitic worms, zebrafish larvae and small insect larvae.

How to…

1 – Make a worm solution.

2 – Dispense to 96well plate. Add treatment compounds.

3 – Measure activity using Wmicrotracker

Technology

As the animals cross the sensor grid, locomotor activity is detected as interruptions in light beams. A software algorithm calculates the number of activity events per time block.

Applications

Compatible with most small animal species [from 100um to 3mm size]. Only swimming behavior is required. Useful for Drug screening, Mutant / RNAi screening, Oxidative Stress, Neurodegeneration, Developmental toxicology, Ecotoxicity experiments and more.

WMicrotracker ARENA

The Wmicrotracker ARENA  is optimized for measurement of small animals  cultured in liquid and agar solid medium.

It is compatible with 24 and 6 well microplate formats, plus 35mm Petri dish.

How to…

1 – Make a worm solution.

2 – Dispense to 6well or 24w  plate. Add treatment compounds.

3 – Measure activity using WMicrotracker ARENA

Technology

Locomotor activity is detected by IR cameras when the animals produces light scattering into the microbeam array. A software algorithm calculates the number of activity events per time block and its location into the plate.

Applications

Compatible with most animal species [from 100um to 5mm size]. Useful for Toxicology assays, Chemotaxis, Heat shock stress, Healthspan and more.

WMicrotracker SMART

WMicrotracker SMART is optimized for path tracking of animals cultured in liquid, solid, or air medium by using a 35mm Petri dish. It comes in two versions: SMARTx1 for a single plate or SMARTx8 for 8 plates with a moving carousel.

It has been validated for tracking C. elegans cultured on NGM

How to…

1 – Transfer the worms to a 35mm plate
2 – Measure 5min using Wmicrotracker SMART.

Technology

The system detects the movement of organism populations through infrared imaging. A machine learning algorithm recognize worm silhouettes and track their movement into the plate.

Applications

Currently validated using C.elegans worms . Useful for Healthspan and Lifespan, Toxicity assay, Motility.

WMicrotracker MINI

WMicrotracker Mini is the small brother and low cost version of WMicrotracker ONE. It uses the same infrared microbeam technolgy for measurements of animals cultured in a liquid medium but using a 96 beams sensor array instead of 384. It is only compatible with 96 well microplates.

It has been validated for use in C.elegans (L1, L4, and adult stages) and small insects cultured into glass tubes.
