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.
Learn MoreProprietary Laser Autofocus
Laser autofocus and image-based (or software-based) autofocus are two methods of autofocus widely used in microscopy.
Learn MoreAlpha detection
AlphaScreen is a bead-based assay technology used to study biomolecular interactions in a microplate format. The acronym 'Alpha' stands for amplified luminescent proximity homogeneous assay. This platform provides a nonradioactive, homogeneous assay that has low background and high signal to background ratios.
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.
Learn MoreAutomatic Region of Interest Identification
This process enables walk-away slide scanning for four or more slides, if combined with Agilent automation offerings, and can be used with the Agilent BioTek Lionheart automated microscopes and Agilent BioTek Cytation imaging multimode readers.
Learn MoreSpot Counting
The spot counting module available in Agilent BioTek Gen5 software enables the number of spots counted, and other information, to be tied to the original primary mask data, allowing these values to be known for each object initially identified in the image.
