Cytation 1 Cell Imaging Multimode Reader

Cytation 1 Cell Imaging Multimode Reader is an affordable yet comprehensive tool that integrates digital microscopy and multimode detection. It combines high-contrast brightfield imaging and fluorescence for capturing intricate cellular details and broad regions of interest, with a magnification range from 1.25x to 60x. The device also accommodates conventional multimode detection, offering filter-based fluorescence and monochromator-based UV-Vis absorbance. Equipped with temperature control and shaking, the Cytation 1 offers optional CO2/O2 control and reagent injectors. Its Gen5 software streamlines the image capturing and plate reading process, ensuring easy operation and analysis.
