Microarray Scanner - MBI Innoscan 710
Microarray Scanner - MBI Innoscan 710
SKU: MBIIS710
The MBI Innoscan 710 is a 2-color confocal fluorescence microarray scanner engineered by Innopsys for reliable, high-speed multiplexed imaging. Featuring 1 μm pixel resolution, simultaneous detection via two extremely sensitive photomultiplier tubes, and real-time autofocus, this compact system delivers consistent, high-quality results for research and diagnostic microarray workflows. Full automation via MAPIX software streamlines acquisition and quantification from a single slide.
Key Features
