ImagerBio F is a compact and portable fluorescent imager designed for imaging fluorescent microarrays. The instrument by standard operates on 2 channels: CY3 and CY5. The instrument is able to work with 96-well plate, a 12×8 well strip, as well as microscopic glasses (placed in a special adapter). The device takes images from the below, so the wells must have a transparent bottom. The device is equipped with a highly sensitive CMOS camera capable of taking more sensitive images in a shorter exposure times, which saves operating time. Image filtering goes through fluorescent filters. The instrument has an automatic mechanism of tray ejection outside the body.
The instrument can operate with a 20V portable lithium-ion battery, which makes the device usable in the field studies or point-of-care.
The device is available in 2, 3 or 4 channel configuration: DAPI, FITC, CY3, CY5. Qdot options are also available.
The compact design of 2/3 channel version allows the device to be carried in the hand luggage of the aircraft.
