One to three 96 or 384 heads in any combination | - Customize configuration to address hardware cost versus tip cost.
- User need not switch out 96, 384 heads-software controls which head is used
| - Buy exactly what you need, add heads later.
- No risk of customer damaging instrument, no downtime spent switching heads
- Conserve tips by isolating sticky compounds to one head, library compounds to another head.
| | Two Cameras | - Photon detecting camera specifically designed for detecting flash aequorin signalÂ
- CCD camera specifically designed for detecting fluorescence, up to 10 readings per second, from UV to
| - Multimode capability without compromising signal detection sensitivity.Â
- Conserve laboratory space with one instrument used for two assay platforms
| | Integrated Plate Stacker | Automatically assay 20 or 30 cell plates
