BioTek Cytation 5 Cell Imaging Multi-Mode Reader with wide FOV camera

BioTek Instruments announces a wide field of view (FOV) camera option for the Cytation 5 Cell Imaging Multi-Mode Reader. The wide FOV camera captures approximately four times the area compared to Cytation 5’s standard camera, allowing users to capture larger areas of interest with fewer images. The camera increases the speed of acquisition for larger samples and accelerates statistically significant sampling for cell population Chereanalysis.

The imager combines automated digital microscopy and conventional microplate detection in a configurable, upgradable platform. It includes both filter-based and monochromator-based optics for multimode versatility and performance. The microscopy module, with its standard or wide FOV cameras, enables cellular visualisation up to 60x magnification in fluorescence, brightfield, colour brightfield and phase contrast across a broad range of sample biologies.

The product has shaking, incubation to 65°C and a Peltier cooling module to ensure internal environmental stability for assay integrity. A CO₂/O₂ gas controller and dual reagent injector module are also available. It comes with Gen5 software, designed to make plate reading and image capture easy while providing information-rich data and images.
