Product Details
- Multimode plate reader with sophisticated imaging includes both upright and inverted microscopy optics offering a range of cellular and reflected light applications. Flexible capabilities yield information in many imaging modes
- Inverted microscopy module supports fluorescence, brightfield and color brightfield to analyze both large objects and intracellular detail and enables a broad range of applications, expanding your capabilities
- Ready for any assay with a combination of hybrid plate reader and advanced microscopy mode, flexible operation saves time and increases productivity in the laboratory
- Hit-picking: Multimode detection plus imaging saves time and data storage
- The upright imaging module can be used to automate assays such as ELISpot in which cell secretions are visible with colorimetric reaction. Automation of imaging acquisition, processing, image analysis, and object count reduces manual intervention
- Gen5 software facilitates powerful ROI identification. Samples may be selected for high magnification and the process of imaging ROIs in batches can be accelerated for faster throughput
- Perform microvolume analysis with Take3 plate or Take3 Trio. Run 16 or 48 samples in a single run to save time compared to single-sample devices. Gen5 is preprogrammed for ssDNA, dsDNA, RNA, and protein quantification in 2 μL
- Variable bandwidth for sensitivity and specificity with a quad monochromator. Increased sensitivity with large bandwidth settings, and increased specificity with small bandwidth settings enhance assay performance and flexibility for applications

Variable bandwidth for sensitivity and specificity
The Cytation plate reader optics use a quad monochromator design with variable bandwidth. Large bandwidth settings provide increased sensitivity and lower limits of detection. Small bandwidth settings deliver increased specificity with multiple signals, reducing signal cross-talk and enhancing assay performance.
Learn MorePatented laser autofocus
Provides increased reproducibility and speed, while decreasing phototoxic and photobleaching effect. Learn more about Laser Autofocus on the Technology Page.
Learn MoreTime-resolved fluorescence
Time-resolved fluorescence (TRF) measurement is very similar to fluorescence intensity (FI) measurement. The only difference is the timing of the excitation / measurement process.
Learn MoreTR-FRET
Time-resolved fluorescence energy transfer (TR-FRET) works on the principles that when suitable pairs of fluorophores are in close proximity of one another, excitation of a lanthanide donor fluorophore results in energy transfer to an acceptor fluorophore.
Learn MoreCell Counting
Accurate cell counting is a critical step across a spectrum of cell biology applications. Direct cell counting uses methods that identify and enumerate individual cells, as opposed to indirect methods that estimate population sizes using biochemical methods.
Learn MoreObject Tracking
With the incorporation of the object tracking module, available within Agilent BioTek Gen5 software for imaging and microscopy, this can be easily accomplished in a fully automated fashion.
