Shorter measurement times with the new Cedex 2.1.2 Software
Since its introduction in the last quarter of 2007, the new software version 2.1.1 for the Cedex and Cedex HiRes systems has generated a very positive response from our customers.
However, the new software has been technically refined and optimized. As an important result the latest version 2.1.2.offers … a significant reduction in measurement time !
In the case of a standard Cedex system with an MS20 multisampler, for example, each sample can be analysed in only 2:42 minutes. So a time saving of 30 to 90 seconds per sample can be achieved.
The importance of the reduction in measurement time in the event of a maximum workload
of 20 samples is obvious: the time needed can be reduced by 30 minutes!
Similar reductions in measurement times can also be achieved with the Cedex HiRes system.
Important Note:
Innovatis is offering a free update to all interested Cedex software 2.1.1 users!

Rollout Cedex Software 2.1.2
After the successful market launch of the new Cedex 2 software in the summer of 2007, innovatis now presents an updated version for the optimized analysis of cells using the Cedex and Cedex HiRes systems.
What began as a joint development project between customers and innovatis now has its successor. In addition to updates based on customer feedback, the software has been technically refined, thus further improving performance.
The result is the Cedex software 2.1.2.
Innovatis is now offering a free update to all interested Cedex software 2.1.1 users!

Cedex Gets a ”New Look”
We would like to advise you in advance that it will not be long before the instrument enclosure of the Cedex will change. The reason for this is obvious!
Due to the expansion strategy of our company and the consequent variety of products, clear brand management becomes the crucial identity feature in order to be recognized in the market. This is reflected not only in the company brand but also in the product design.
For this reason all systems produced by innovatis AG will be supplied with white instrument enclosures in the future.
The color change of the instrument enclosure becomes even more important regarding the Cedex product as this change is in conjunction with the system upgrade to the latest Cedex 2 technology. This makes it easy for us, the manufacturer, as well as for the users to quickly distinguish between old and new instruments.

Market launch “Cellavista” - The new platform technology for cellular analysis in microplates
At the ESACT meeting 2007 in Dresden, innovatis AG presented the Cellavista, our newest technological development in the area of analysis of cells in microplates.
The Cellavista, successor to the Cellscreen system, is a fast and flexible image-based platform technology designed to combine the advantages of brightfield imaging and fluorescence capabilities. Long-term studies with selected beta-test customers already indicate that the system has a bright future – in addition, there was a long list of companies interested in an on-site demonstration of the Cellavista by the end of the meeting in Dresden.
With its broad range of applications, the system covers all areas of cellular research and development including:
• Single cell cloning
• Cell confluence
• Suspension cell count
• FACS seeding efficiency control
• Cell nuclei count and characterization
• Transfection efficiency
• Microplate quality control
• Viral plaque assays
• Fluorescent protein expression
• Apoptosis assays
… and many more fluorescence applications
For more detailed information, brochures are available in the download area of our internet website. Alternatively, discuss your applications directly with the responsible product manager, Dr. Gerd Emde!

The new Cedex 2 Software - Extended system features and new application alternatives!
This new version of the software is the result of a development project of innovatis AG in collaboration with prominent users within the pharmaceutical- and biotech sector. Compared to the currently established Cedex software, this version represents an entirely new basic version.
On the one hand, a large number of user-related requirements have been included in this new version, while at the same time, providing the market with the opportunity to be used for further application requirements in the future– thus the new Cedex 2 software represents the new platform technology for future-oriented cell culture analysis!
From the end of May onwards all new Cedex HiRes Systems will be equipped with the Cedex 2 software by the manufacturer.
Innovatis AG provides extensive up-grade options for customers already with existing systems. The modular “licence-key-system” is allowing a well-balanced cost/performance ratio for individual customer requirements. In this way, it is also possible to purchase two modul versions - a basic and a full package.
The customer benefits not only from the advantages gained through the increased automation level for his product and the optimisation of the process reliability of his analytical method, but also from the advantage of a future-oriented design of the system configuration. At present, the new software is designed in such a way, that upgrades for additional application areas are possible later on.
Likewise, the new software is also available for Cedex, the established “gold standard“ in cell culture analysis. Innovatis experts naturally provide competent support in this area for all questions asked concerning cGMP-aspects. So the customer still remains “on the safe side” within his validated method.
For further information please contact your sales representative directly. The respective contact details are listed on our web site “Contact world wide” under the appropriate country symbol!

CEDEX and CASY Technology – two strong brands are coming together
Innovatis AG, Bielefeld, and Schärfe System GmbH, Reutlingen,
jointly announce
Founded in 1995, innovatis AG ranks among the leading suppliers of systems solutions for process analytics in biotechnology. With the development of the CEDEX automated cell analyzer, innovatis AG early on recognized the market requirements of the future and revolutionized the manual cell counting process previously established in the market. The Cedex, based on an image recognition measurement procedure using the Trypan blue method to determine viability, is now internationally recognized as the “Gold Standard” for cell counting in both biotechnology and R&D within the pharmaceutical industry.

Integration Services are the Latest Trend
The pharmaceutical industry is experiencing continuously increasing pressure to economize. In order to achieve economization, a high degree of standardization, efficient automation and a well networked information management are required. In doing so already 50 % of the turn-over is generated solely by 20 worldwide operating companies. For the information management, economization on a global scale doesn’t just signify a local computer-network – but rather demanding answers to the challenges presented by locations spread across the world and the linkage of information from various fields.

Lost in PAT?
In 2004 the initiative Process Analytical Technology (PAT) was enacted by the regulatory authority Food and Drug Administration of the United States of America (US FDA). This initiative is causing a shift in direction away from strictly specified requirements and decision criteria towards decision-making in the pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical industry, which is based on scientifically proven methods.
