Like conventional microplate readers, multimode microplate readers detect reaction signals from microtiter plates in order to perform assays such as ELISA, protein detection, and drug screening assays. Unlike conventional plate readers, multimode microplate readers are able to perform two or more forms of detection allowing a single piece of equipment to perform a wider range of assays. This can increase throughput and efficiency, thus saving time and space in the lab. Important things to consider when purchasing a multimode microplate reader are the particular combinations of assays desired, ease of use, ability to add or remove functionality, and the unit price.

The automated water- immersion objectives capture more light, driving lower exposure times and reducing phototoxic impacts on The Cytation C10 confocal imaging reader combines automated confocal and widefield microscopy with conventional multimode microplate reading in a unique, proprietary design. The automated water- immersion objectives capture more light, driving lower exposure times and reducing phototoxic impacts on live cells. The spinning-disk confocal module and accompanying disk pinhole options allow a researcher to look deeper into thick sample biology with improved clarity and detail. High-quality components used in the system, including a Hamamatsu scientific CMOS (sCMOS) camera, Olympus objectives and laser-based illumination enable excellent image quality, at a significantly lower price than others.
Cytation C10 also includes widefield fluorescence, brightfield and phase contrast optics. Onboard environmental controls enable live cell assays. Multiplate live cell assays are accomplished with Cytation C10 integrated with the Agilent BioTek BioSpa 8 automated incubator. Cytation C10 brings high-performance, affordable confocal to every laboratory.... Read More |
