AUROX Unity — compact all-in-one live-cell spinning-disk confocal with patented laser-free illumination. Official authorized distributor in China: Oriental Horizon Technology Co Ltd（北京）.

System overview

Unity brings together a spinning-disk confocal optical path, an integrated dark enclosure, and a live-cell culture environment (including CO₂ incubation as part of the configured system) in a small benchtop footprint. Wireless control reduces cable clutter and supports multi-user operation without constant re-entry into the lab space.

A patented optical architecture obtains high-resolution confocal images at useful speed without expensive laser sources as the illumination engine — lowering acquisition and running costs while avoiding laser-safety constraints typical of laser-based confocals.

Key features

• Lower initial system cost versus many laser confocal platforms

• Running cost aligned with long-life illumination (source lifetime matched to the instrument class — no routine laser tube replacement cycle)

• Minimal optical alignment burden in day-to-day use

• Short learning curve — tablet (iPad) oriented operation for shared labs

• No laser radiation safety program required for routine users

• Reduced electrical load and lab infrastructure demand; small footprint, no major room retrofit

• Wireless control for multi-user workflows; fewer entries into contained labs (relevant where contamination control matters, including higher-containment rooms when local rules allow)

• One-click switching between widefield and confocal imaging modes
