Caenorhabditis elegans ( C. elegans ) lifespan assays constitute a broadly used approach for investigating the fundamental biology of longevity. Traditional C. elegans lifespan assays require labor-intensive microscopic monitoring of individual animals to evaluate life/death over a period of weeks, making large-scale high throughput studies impractical. The lifespan machine developed by Stroustrup et al . (2013) adapted flatbed scanner technologies to contribute a major technical advance in the efficiency of C...
