Cytation5

Cytation™ 5 – BioTek

Description

Cytation™ 5 systems combine automated digital microscopy, BioSpa incubator for up to 8 multi-dish plates and a robot machine. The microscopy module offers up to 20x magnification in fluorescence, high contrast brightfield, color imaging and phase contrast. Gen5™ software provides complete control over all imaging and data capture with powerful image and data analysis. In addition, the system includes an automated scratcher for live cell imaging of wound healing assay.
