Features & Benefits
The table below provides an overview of the FDSS6000. Information is also available about the FDSS7000.

Features Benefits Advantages Examples
One to three 96 or 384 heads in any combination
  1. Customize configuration to address hardware cost versus tip cost.
  2. User need not switch out 96, 384 heads-software controls which head is used
  1. Buy exactly what you need, add heads later.
  2. No risk of customer damaging instrument, no downtime spent switching heads
  3. Conserve tips by isolating sticky compounds to one head, library compounds to another head.
Two Cameras
  1. Photon detecting camera specifically designed for detecting flash aequorin signal 
  2. CCD camera specifically designed for detecting fluorescence, up to 10 readings per second, from UV to
  1. Multimode capability without compromising signal detection sensitivity. 
  2. Conserve laboratory space with one instrument used for two assay platforms
Integrated Plate Stacker

Automatically assay 20 or 30 cell plates

Increase productivity of staff. Reduce error, variability resulting from plate handling

Up to 600 W Xenon Lamp power

Customize configuration for needs (300 W or 600 W)

  1. Buy exactly what you need, add more lamps later.
  2. Reduce loading dye concentration
