The Cell Tester is the product of three years of design and field testing. It represents a blending of state-of-the-art technologies, including electronics, mechanics and optics. The end result is a revolutionary new research tool for cellular investigation.

All living systems can be studied from several perspectives. We can examine the entire organism or a specific organ system. We can characterize a single organ in a system or a type of tissue in an organ or the cells that make up that tissue. To completely understand any system, all of these perspectives must be considered. Often, entirely different systems are needed in a parallel experimental paradigm. The Cell Tester accomplishes this on one platform.
