Molecular Devices IsoCyte Microplate Reader

The IsoCyte Laser Scanning Imager is a benchtop laser scanning imager that enables dynamic fluorimetry, the measurement of fluorescence emission signals and their characteristic properties other than intensity and wavelength. The scanner’s object-based technology measures signals associated with objects in the focal region to:

Distinguish object signal from background

Quantify objects

Measure object shape characteristics

Measure object fluorescence intensity

Measure object anisotropy

The scanner’s unique optical head and four photomultiplier tubes (PMT) enable measurement of four emission colors in the intensity domain or two in the anisotropy domain. The scanner is compatible with ANSI/SBS footprint microplates of any well format, or custom plates or microscope slides held in a frame with an ANSI/SBS footprint.
