Add-Ons & Accessories

Injectors with Heating & Stirring

Integrated injectors give you valuable dispensing capabilities, ideal for high sensitivity applications such as flash luminescence. Unique heating and stirring capabilities reduce the risk of precipitation.

 

Spark-Stack™

A compact, automated plate stacker for integration with Spark readers, providing reliable walkaway processing of upto 50 plates per run


Humidity Casette

Reduction in evaporation during your assay

  • Use your existing plates – no need for expensive special plates
  • Better data quality – consistent results
  • Reduced edge effects – ideal for long-term kinetics
  • Stable conditions – better cell viability

Cell Chips™ for cell counting

 

  • Accurate, reproducible cell counting, with flexible area selection for greater sensitivity
  • One-click analysis of cell number, size distribution and viability
  • Export images for visual confirmation
  • High precision cell counting, even at low concentrations
  • Automated replicate processing for multiple samples in disposable Cell Chips

NanoQuant Plate™:

This device allows parallel quantification and analysis of up to 16 nucleic acid or protein samples, in sample volumes as little as 2 µl.
