What`s New
Download our Application Note to discover how combining MitoXpress and pH-Xtra reagents with BioTek plate readers provide sensitive detection methods, including advanced lifetime (µs) time-resolved fluorescence (TRF), for getting the most meaningful data out of your cell metabolism assays.
With the ability to collect phenotypic and quantitative data in a single experiment, Cytation 5 is a powerful tool for imaging applications, and conventional multi-mode applications.
Multi-mode plate reader with sophisticated imaging
Cytation 7 includes both upright and inverted microscopy optics which opens up a wide range of cellular and reflected light applications that cannot be performed on a standard plate reader. Information on cell morphology, localization of signal, cell count, object identification and quantification can be obtained with Cytation 7’s imaging modes. The monochromator plate reader optics allows running all of the standard plate reader assays.
Cytation 7: Ready for any assay
With its combination of hybrid plate reader and advanced microscopy mode, Cytation is truly ready for any assay. Contact us to learn how Cytation can transform your lab and greatly increase your productivity.
Comprehensive imaging solution
Cytation 7’s inverted microscopy module supports fluorescence, brightfield and color brightfield from 1.25x to 60x to analyze both large objects and intracellular details.
Cytation 7’s upright reflected light imaging module enables a broad range of applications such as ELISpot, colony counting, material inspection, and much more.
Hit-picking: Multi-mode detection + imaging saves time and data storage
- Plate reader quickly identifies GFP positive wells.
- Only GFP positive wells are imaged, saving both time and computer memory.
ELISpot imaging
Cytation 7’s upright imaging module can be used to automate assays such as ELISpot in which cell secretions are rendered visible through the use of a colorimetric reaction. Cytation 7 fully automates imaging acquisition, processing, image analysis and object count.
Powerful functionality with ROI identification feature
Cytation 7 and Gen5 software facilitate ROI identification. Cytation 7 scans samples at low magnification before prompting the user to identify regions of interest to be imaged at high magnification. This greatly accelerates the process of imaging ROIs in batches of complex microscopic samples.
Variable bandwidth for sensitivity and specificity
The plate reader optics of Cytation uses a quad monochromator design with variable bandwidth. The bandwidth can be set anywhere between 9 and 50 nm in 1 nm increment. Large bandwidth settings (1) provide increased sensitivity and lower limits of detection. Small bandwidth settings (2) provide increased specificity when multiple signals are present, which reduces signal crosstalk and enhances assay performance.
Micro-volume analysis with Take3 plate
Turn your Cytation 7 into a micro-volume analysis system with Take3 or Take3 Trio. You can run 16 or 48 samples in one run to save a lot of time compared to single-sample devices. Gen5 is pre-programmed for ssDNA, dsDNA, RNA and protein quantification in 2 μL.
