# Lucid Scientific

> Lucid Scientific is the maker of Resipher — a non-invasive cell culture monitor that measures real-time oxygen consumption rate (OCR) directly from inside a standard incubator, enabling continuous bioenergetic profiling of live cells without disturbing the culture.

Resipher works with standard 96-well plates and any culture type (2D monolayers, 3D organoids, tissue slices, embryos). It supports bioenergetic profiling of mitochondrial electron transport chain (ETC) function, fatty acid oxidation (FAO) substrate metabolism, ATP-linked respiration, spare capacity, and proton leak. It is used as a continuous, non-invasive alternative to endpoint assays such as Seahorse.

## Publications

A curated, continuously updated list of peer-reviewed publications and preprints that used Resipher to measure cellular oxygen consumption is maintained on the [Resources page](https://lucidsci.com/resources). Each entry includes the paper title, full citation, research area, cell lines, publish date, and a link to the paper, and the list is marked up with schema.org structured data (an ItemList of ScholarlyArticle) so it is machine-parseable. Research areas span cancer and tumor metabolism, immunometabolism and cell therapy (CAR-T), retinal disease, neurobiology, infectious disease and drug discovery, diabetes and islet biology, and mitochondrial dysfunction.
