The system is modular and scalable to suit a range of applications including automated ELISA, add/read protocols and cell fixing, staining and imaging processes.

BioSpa 8 Automated Incubator
BioSpa 8 is an automated incubator linking BioTek readers or imagers together with washers and dispensers for full workflow automation of up to 8 microplates. Temperature, CO2/O2 and humidity levels are controlled and monitored through the BioSpa software to maintain an ideal environment for cell cultures during all experimental stages.

BioStack Microplate Stacker
BioStack™ is a compact and versatile microplate stacker compatible with BioTek’s washers, dispensers, detectors and imaging systems. BioStack offers rapid plate exchange speeds to increase throughput and enhance productivity, accommodating assay workflows both with and without plate lids. BioStack models equipped with a rotational gripper allow ergonomically friendly instrument panel access and compact integration positioning
Software
Gen5 Microplate Reader and Imager Software controls Cytation 5 for automated image capture, processing, analysis and development of publication-ready images and data. This imaging and microscopy automation represents BioTek’s Augmented Microscopy™ - the simplified, automated process to accomplish multiple microscopy steps in a single platform. Gen5 is available in several editions to meet the image analysis requirements across a range of applications.
Gen5 Image+ offers complete imaging control for Cytation 5, and provides image processing and analysis including z-projection, image stitching, hitpicking and digital phase contrast.
Gen5 Image Prime controls Cytation 5 includes more expansive image processing and analysis: Z-projection, image stitching, hitpicking and digital phase contrast, plus advanced features including secondary mask, dynamic thresholding and subpopulation analysis.
Gen5 Secure editions add features to help ensure compliance to 21 CFR Part 11 requirements.
Gen5 add-on modules provide increased functionality for specific applications or analyses, such as Spot Counting.
Object area analysis in Gen5 software.
BioTek has made it easier than ever to run common applications with only a few clicks from Read to Results! The Quantitative Assay Apps use the power of Gen5 behind a simple, step-by-step setup customization of pre-defined protocols for a streamlined process. Automated data export and report tools complete the workflow requirements.
