Cytation 5 Cell Imaging Multimode Reader

The perfect synergy of superior imaging and microplate detection – Cytation 5 Cell Imaging Multimode Reader. Cytation 5 seamlessly integrates automated microscopy and conventional microplate detection in a highly configurable platform. The microscopy module delivers up to 60x magnification in several modes including fluorescence, brightfield, high contrast brightfield, color brightfield, and phase contrast, which caters to various applications and workflows. In addition, the multimode detection modules incorporate filter-based and monochromator-based fluorescence detection, luminescence, and UV-Vis absorbance detection. The entire process from imaging to data capture and analysis is precisely controlled by the sophisticated Gen5 software.
