Product Details
- Cytation C10 is an affordable benchtop confocal imager for every laboratory
- Confocal microscopy enables improved image quality and analysis, revealing a level of detail in samples that is not possible with widefield optics.
- High-quality optical components including the Hamamatsu sCMOS Orca camera, Semrock filters, Olympus objectives, and other well-known brands, allow the capture of stunning, publication-quality images.
- Confocal imaging and multimode plate reader in one system. A combination of spinning disk confocal and widefield imaging, plus multimode reader, Cytation C10 is ready for any assay with a modular, upgradable design.
- Use widefield imaging for faster acquisition of large samples at lower magnification, and switch to confocal to image small intracellular details or 3D samples. Use both modes for highly multiplexed, multiparameter imaging experiments.
- Environmental controls including incubation and CO2/O2 control and monitoring, facilitate live cell imaging. Movie maker and kinetic analysis tools allow visualizing and analysis of time-lapse experiments.
- Imaging plus multimode detection saves time and data storage capacity. Use Cytation C10 hit-picking function to quickly prescreen the microplate with the plate reader optics, and then automatically image the samples that meet your hit criteria.
- Variable bandwidth, quad monochromator plate reader optics enhance assay performance, including increased sensitivity and specificity. The bandwidth can be set anywhere between 9 and 50 nm in 1 nm increments.
- Versatile system, ready for any assay with the combination of confocal and widefield imaging with multimode detection. Transform your laboratory workflows and increase productivity with the ability to be ready for any application.

Variable bandwidth for sensitivity and specificity
The Cytation plate reader optics use a quad monochromator design with variable bandwidth for enhanced assay performance. Bandwidths can be set between 9 and 50 nm in 1 nm increment. Large bandwidth settings offer increased sensitivity while small bandwidth settings deliver increased specificity for multiple signals.
Learn MoreConfocal Technology
Confocal microscopy is an optical microscopy technique that provides benefits across an expansive set of research areas, including, a higher control of depth of field, reduction in out of focus blur outside of the focal plane of interest and an improved ability to penetrate thick biology (e.g., 3D cell culture, whole organism, etc).
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.
