BioTek Cytation 1 Cell Imaging Multimode Reader

Product Information

BioTek Cytation 1 cell imaging multimode reader combines fluorescence and high contrast brightfield imaging with conventional multimode detection. The BioTek Cytation 1 design provides both quantitative phenotypic cellular data with well-based quantitative data. The multimode detection module has high sensitivity filter-based fluorescence and a monochromator for UV-Vis absorbance. Temperature control and shaking are standard. CO2/O2 control and reagent injectors are available. Gen5 software simplifies image capture and plate reading.

More Information

  • Digital microscopy and multimode detection deliver both phenotypic data and quantitative data from one instrument, maximizing laboratory productivity. Gen5 software provides image and data analysis for all applications in an easy-to-use package
  • Easy imaging workflow automation with augmented microscopy image capture, processing, and analysis. Automated results as publication-ready images and data save time and reduce the need for manual manipulation and transfer to other applications
  • Fluorescence and high contrast brightfield imaging from 1.25x to 60x to capture large regions of interest and intracellular details
  • Automated XY stage, autofocus, auto exposure, and auto LED intensity provide efficient capture of high-quality images in an affordable package
  • More than 20 filter/LED color cubes available for a large selection of colors. This comprehensive selection of imaging filter and LED cubes is available for Lionheart and Cytation imagers and enables a broad range of applications
  • Cell-friendly design for live-cell assays with automation and control of an optimal environment. Temperature control and shaking, plus CO2/O2 control, facilitate longer-term kinetic studies for stable conditions
  • High performance and convenience in one system. Optimized multimode detection with filters for fluorescence and monochromator-based UV-Vis absorbance for convenient wavelength selection in 1 nm increments
  • An available Peltier Cooling Module provides environmental stability for temperature sensitive assays. The module controls rapid interior cooldown after incubated processes to allow efficient switching in multiple applications, saving time and increasing throughput
