Comet Assay IV and how it works
Using a high-definition video camera attached to your microscope,
Comet Assay IV transfers a live video picture
to your computer monitor. The image displayed on the monitor mirrors
what you would see by looking down the microscope’s eyepiece.
Any refocusing or stage movements performed at the microscope level
are shown live on screen without any lag or
delay.
Scoring cells with Comet Assay IV is a uniquely
effortless process. Simply use the mouse to select a cell
and Comet Assay IV will instantly calculate all measurement parameters
and then add the data for the cell to your list of results. Click
on the next cell to be scored and the process is repeated. Each
scored cell within the field of view is marked with a cross to help
prevent rescoring the same cell twice.
Once
all the cells within the current field of view have been scored,
use the microscope’s stage controls and the onscreen video
picture to find the next set of cells to be scored. In no time at
all, you will be fluent enough with the system to score all the
cells on a typical slide in two minutes.
When the required number of cells from a slide have been scored,
the results can be saved in Microsoft Excel
file format and used to produce reports on your collected data.
In addition to saving data to Excel, Comet Assay IV also incorporates
powerful database capabilities. When
used in conjunction with an Oracle database, result and audit data
for each measurement is saved to the database the instant a measurement
is performed.
