The BioTek Cytation 7 cell imaging multimode plate reader combines automated digital upright and inverted widefield microscopy with conventional multimode microplate reading. The Cytation 7 includes continually variable bandpass monochromators for versatility and performance for general multimode plate reader applications.

Key Features / Highlights

• Sophisticated imaging with both upright and inverted microscopy optics offers a range of cellular and reflected light applications, yielding information in many imaging modes.
• Inverted microscopy module supports fluorescence, brightfield, and color brightfield to analyze both large objects and intracellular detail and enables a broad range of applications.
• Combination of hybrid plate reader and advanced microscopy mode provides flexible operation ready for any assay, saves time, and increases productivity in the laboratory.
• Automation of imaging acquisition, processing, image analysis, and object count reduces manual intervention.
