Advanced Seahorse XF Analyzer Solutions for Real-Time Cellular Metabolism
Explore precision-engineered Seahorse XF analyzer systems tailored for metabolic research, drug discovery, and real-time cell analysis.
Seahorse XF Analyzer: Real-Time Metabolic Profiling for Live-Cell Bioenergetics
The Seahorse XF analyzer is a cutting-edge bioanalytical instrument that measures cellular metabolism in real-time by analyzing oxygen consumption rate (OCR) and extracellular acidification rate (ECAR). These parameters provide critical insights into mitochondrial respiration and glycolysis, enabling a deeper understanding of cellular bioenergetics, disease progression, and therapeutic responses.
Ideal for live-cell analysis in microplate formats, the Seahorse XF platform is widely used in drug discovery, cancer biology, immunology, and metabolic disease research. It offers dynamic, non-invasive measurements in physiologically relevant conditions, without requiring cell labeling or lysis.Physi Analytica delivers a comprehensive portfolio of Seahorse XF technologies, customized for B2B research facilities across North America. With robust instrumentation, reliable integrations, and expert-backed support, we empower laboratories to extract meaningful metabolic insights with accuracy and speed.
