STEMvision Unit - Distributor to Install

The STEMvision system from STEMCELL Technologies is an automated imaging and analysis platform purpose-built for hematopoietic colony-forming unit (CFU) assays. Built for research laboratories running MethoCult and similar methylcellulose-based culture workflows, it captures high-resolution whole-dish images and applies validated algorithms to identify, count, and classify erythroid, granulocyte/macrophage, and multilineage colonies such as BFU-E, CFU-GM, and CFU-GEMM.

Typical applications include standardized colony enumeration in hematopoietic stem and progenitor cell research, drug discovery screening panels, radiation and chemical toxicity testing, and quality control workflows for cell therapy and cord blood banking programs. By digitizing the traditionally manual microscopy workflow, STEMvision removes inter-operator variability, generates traceable image records for audit-ready reporting, and shortens scoring time across multiple 35 mm SmartDish culture dishes and 6-well plates processed in a single batch.

The unit is supplied through distributor-led installation, meaning an authorized STEMCELL Technologies field specialist handles on-site setup, optical calibration, dish-handling verification, and operator training at the customer's facility. This service model validates the instrument's optical path, lighting profile, and classification algorithm against current assay standards before routine use begins, and qualifies the customer for ongoing application support and software updates.

For laboratories scaling colony-based potency assays, the instrument integrates with STEMCELL Technologies standardized SmartDish consumables and MethoCult formulations, supporting reproducible results across operators and sites. Research use only.
