Zebrafish video tracking

Every larva in every well,
measured as the test runs.

Show the station your multi-well plate: each well gets its own zone in seconds. Each larva is followed in its well for the whole test, and distance, speed and activity per well are compared by treatment the moment you press Stop. No scoring by hand, no plate scored twice.

Forty seconds, one plate

A 96-well plate, from the plate to the report.

The wells are found on the image, every larva is followed in its own well, and the report compares your treatments when the test ends.

What you get after every plate

The plate, the larvae, the report

96-well plate seen from the station camera, with a zone drawn on every well
The plate found on the image. Place your plate, and every well gets its own zone in seconds. Adjust a corner if needed; the layout is kept for the whole study.
Close-up of wells with a larva followed in each
One larva per well, followed for the whole test. Each larva is tracked in its own well; its distance, speed and active time are counted as the test runs.
Report chart comparing the total distance of two treatment groups, each larva a dot
The report when you press Stop. Groups compared with mean and standard error, each larva a dot, the statistics already done, the chart exportable.

Built for the assays you run

A typical session

  1. Wells and treatments

    Assign the wells of the plate to your treatment groups in a grid, or import them from your file.

  2. The plate on the image

    The station finds the wells on the picture of your plate; the layout is kept for every plate of the study.

  3. Start, test, next plate

    Press Start; the test runs for the duration of your protocol and stops by itself.

  4. Report and export

    Groups compared on a chart, an exportable dataset for your statistics, and the archive of every test, sealed.

Common questions

Which zebrafish tests does it support?

Locomotion and activity of larvae in multi-well plates: baseline activity, response to a compound, light and dark periods you define in the protocol. Tell us your assay and we will say what we measure.

How many larvae per test?

One larva per well, every well of the plate followed at once on one camera, up to a 96-well plate.

Do we need a dedicated chamber?

No. The station and its camera arrive ready to use, on rental with your plan; you bring your plate and your larvae. We advise on the backlight and the placement during the demo.

Can I compare treatment groups?

Yes. Assign the wells to your treatments and the report compares the groups with mean and standard error, each larva a dot, the chart exportable.

Can several people use the same experiment?

Yes. Your rodent and zebrafish colleagues work in one shared workspace, each from their own computer.

Can we check a result before we export it?

Yes. The track of each well and the video of the test are kept, so you can look at any larva before the export.

Can we try it before subscribing?

Yes. Request your free demo to run a simulated plate in your browser, then try the complete setup in your lab for 15 days.
