Abstract
A data collection hub and method wherein a controller is configured to receive data from a plurality of sensors sensing conditions related to the performance of operations on cells by at least one instrument. A database stores the data from the plurality of sensors and the controller is configured to compare data from the plurality of sensors for a past operation with the data for a more recent operation.
Claims26
A cell laboratory data collection method for collecting cell data from at least one cell culture incubator connected in a network, the method comprising the steps of:
- providing a plurality of sensors including at least one sensor for sensing ambient conditions in a laboratory wherein the at least one cell culture incubator is disposed, and at least one sensor for sensing the identity of a material used in a cell operation in the at least one cell culture incubator, configuring a controller to receive data from an imager in the at least one cell culture incubator;
- archiving cell operation data, data from the plurality of sensors and data derived from images taken by the imager in a database connected to the network;
- and in response to determining that there is a difference between the status of cells in a current cell operation in the at least one cell culture incubator and the status of cells of a past operation in the at least one cell culture incubator that has been archived, providing an alert to the user, and wherein the step of providing an alert to the user includes providing a comparison of image related data from the past operation and the current operation to account for the difference in status.
