Cytation 5 Cell Imaging Multi-Mode Reader

A Cytation™ 5 egy egyedülállóan integrált, konfigurálható műszer, amely kombinálja az automatizált digitális “widefield” mikroszkópiát a hagyományos többmódusú mikroplate detektálással, s ezáltal mind sejt-fenotípus vizsgálatokra, mind kvantitatív mérésekre alkalmas.
