Peltier cooling for environmental stability
The Peltier Cooling Module promotes rapid interior cool down after incubated processes, allowing efficient switching between multiple applications without unwanted temperature changes.For sensitive assays run at room temperature, the Cooling Module maintains environmental stability within Cytation at < 1 °C change.
Learn MoreHybrid plate reader: Flexibility and performance
With its patented combination of monochromator and filter optics, Cytation 5 is an advanced plate reader that delivers both the flexibility and performance you need for any microplate assay in your lab.Monochromator: variable bandwidth, absorbance, fluorescence, luminescence Filters: fluorescence polarization, time-resolved fluorescence, Alpha laser.
Learn MoreVariable 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 MoreTime-resolved fluorescence
Time-resolved fluorescence (TRF) measurement is very similar to fluorescence intensity (FI) measurement.The only difference is the timing of the excitation / measurement process.
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 MoreAbsorbance
Absorbance refers to the ability of a substance to absorb light of a specific wavelength.In a microplate reader designed to measure absorbance, a light source illuminates the sample using a specific wavelength, selected by an optical filter or a monochromator.
Learn MoreFluorescence polarization
Fluorescence polarization (FP) measurements are made using an optical system that includes polarizing filters in the light path.Samples in the microplate are excited using polarized light.Depending on the mobility of the fluorescent molecules found in the wells, the light emitted will either be polarized or not.
Learn MoreTR-FRET
Time-resolved fluorescence energy transfer (TR-FRET) works on the principles that when suitable pairs of fluorophores are in close proximity of one another, excitation of a lanthanide donor fluorophore results in energy transfer to an acceptor fluorophore.
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
必威体育登录手机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
必威体育登录手机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.
