Detailed Introduction

Molecular Devices ImageXpress Pico High-Content Imaging System (with PC, Software & USB Dongle)

The Molecular Devices ImageXpress Pico is a compact, high-performance automated imaging system designed for high-content screening (HCS) and routine fluorescence imaging applications in modern life science laboratories. It combines powerful optical performance with user-friendly software control, making it ideal for cell biology, drug discovery, assay development, and academic research.

Unlike large-scale high-content platforms, the ImageXpress Pico is optimized for benchtop use, offering a balance between image quality, automation, and affordability. It supports a wide range of imaging modes, including brightfield, phase contrast, and fluorescence imaging, enabling researchers to capture high-quality cellular data with minimal setup complexity.

The system comes with a dedicated PC, pre-installed acquisition and analysis software, and a USB dongle for secure software licensing. This ensures plug-and-play usability and stable performance in regulated laboratory environments.

With its automated stage, fast autofocus system, and multi-channel fluorescence capabilities, the ImageXpress Pico allows users to perform consistent imaging across multi-well plates, making it highly suitable for medium-throughput screening workflows.

It is widely used in:

  • Cell proliferation and toxicity studies

  • Live/dead cell assays

  • Transfection efficiency analysis

  • Reporter gene assays

  • Fluorescence-based drug screening

The system is designed to reduce manual imaging variability while improving reproducibility and data integrity, which is critical for pharmaceutical and biotech research.
