Agilent BioTek Synergy Neo2 Hybrid Multimode Microplate Reader

BioTek’s Cytation Cell Imaging Multi-Mode Readers are the most advanced microplate readers on the market, delivering performance, versatility and reliability in a unique, patented design. And now with Cytation C10 with confocal imaging you can do even more. Cytation combines automated digital upright and inverted widefield microscopy with multi-mode detection to capture both quantitative data and phenotypic information on a single platform. Cytation’s modularity and upgradability provides the ability to expand the system as your laboratory’s applications increase. Cytation is truly ready for any assay.

Cytation’s inverted microscope has a 1.25x to 60x objective range enabling a wide range of applications from whole organism imaging to intracellular analysis, in brightfield, high contrast brightfield, color brightfield, phase contrast and fluorescence microscopy. The upright microscope has a 1x to 8x objective range expanding the scope of applications to Region of Interest or ROI identification and ELISpot assays. Cytation’s temperature control, gas control and shaking provide the ideal environment for kinetic live cell imaging.

BioTek's Cytation and Gen5 software work together seamlessly to create a unique, user-friendly microscopy experience, automated imaging capture, processing, and powerful image analysis – all in a single, compact system.

Gen5’s exceptional processing capabilities include z-stacking to facilitate 3D cell structure analysis - captured z-stacks are automatically z-projected with a single click. Z-projection enables a fully focused view of challenging biology such as 3D spheroids, tissues and other thick samples. Montage stitching in Gen5 automatically and precisely stitches multiple tiles in a montage into a single high resolution image for workflows including slide scanning and large sample imaging.

Image analysis tools in Gen5 cover a very broad range of applications and are powerful and easy to use. Gen5 automatically identifies cell nuclei for rapid cell counting. Cytoplasm size, shape, intensity, and other morphological and phenotypical changes are also easily observed and characterized. Gen5’s unique spot count function allows in-depth analysis of intracellular objects, or spots, within a primary or secondary mask. Many other applications, including label-free cell counting, % confluence determination, subpopulation analysis, and signal translocation are efficiently and automatically analyzed with the powerful tools in Gen5.

BenchCel Automated Microplate Handler

The Cell Count & Viability App is designed to automate hemocytometer based counting of suspended mammalian cells using phase contrast imaging with BioTek imagers. Manual cell counting is tedious and prone to errors. Automating the cell counting process removes human error and increases data quality. The Cell Count & Viability App's intuitive interface is simple to use and requires no training. The app can analyze up to eight samples per run and automatically calculates the live/dead cell percentage. It also includes a calculator to determine how much sample and media are required to reach a desired cell concentration to facilitate downstream applications.

This software app is part of BioTek’s Cell Count & Viability Starter Kit, which includes software, 50 disposable counting slides, a slide holder for up to 4 counting slides, and a 1.5mL vial of 0.4% Trypan blue. Click below to learn more.
