Cytation 7 includes both upright and inverted microscopy optics which opens up a wide range of cellular and reflected light applications that cannot be performed on a standard plate reader. Information on cell morphology, localization of signal, cell count, object identification and quantification can be obtained with Cytation 7’s imaging modes. The monochromator plate reader optics allows running all of the standard plate reader assays.

With its combination of hybrid plate reader and advanced microscopy mode, Cytation is truly ready for any assay. Contact us to learn how Cytation can transform your lab and greatly increase your productivity.

Cytation 7’s inverted microscopy module supports fluorescence, brightfield and color brightfield from 1.25x to 60x to analyze both large objects and intracellular details.
Cytation 7’s upright reflected light imaging module enables a broad range of applications such as ELISpot, colony counting, material inspection, and much more.

(1) Plate reader quickly identifies GFP positive wells.
(2) Only GFP positive wells are imaged, saving both time and computer memory.

Cytation 7’s upright imaging module can be used to automate assays such as ELISpot in which cell secretions are rendered visible through the use of a colorimetric reaction. Cytation 7 fully automates imaging acquisition, processing, image analysis and object count.

Cytation 7 and Gen5 software facilitate ROI identification. Cytation 7 scans samples at low magnification before prompting the user to identify regions of interest to be imaged at high magnification. This greatly accelerates the process of imaging ROIs in batches of complex microscopic samples.

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.

Turn your Cytation 7 into a micro-volume analysis system with Take3. You can run 16 or 48 samples in one run to save a lot of time compared to single-sample devices. Gen5 is pre-programmed for ssDNA, dsDNA, RNA and protein quantification in 2 μL.
