If MacGuyver Was A Biologist – Epetri Dish Monitors Cell Growth In Realtime

Caltech engineers have built an ePetri dish - a compact, small, lens-free microscopy imaging platform. It can directly track the cell culture or bacteria culture within the incubator. The data from the ePetri dish automatically transfers to a computer outside the incubator by a cable connection. This technology can significantly streamline and improve cell culture experiments by cutting down on human labor and contamination risks.
