Catalog Number:
MBIIS910-AL
Availability: In stock
MBI Innoscan 910 AL, Confocal Fluorescence Scanner with 24-Slide Autoloader
SKU: MBIIS910-AL
24-SLIDE AUTOLOADER ENABLED
The MBI Innoscan 910 AL is the high-throughput variant of the Innoscan 910 platform, adding a fully integrated 24-slide autoloader to the proven 2-color confocal fluorescence scanning engine. Designed for unattended batch processing of high-density microarrays, it maintains the same 1μm/pixel resolution, dual-PMT sensitivity, and real-time autofocus as the base unit while eliminating manual slide handling between runs.
Key Highlights: 24-slide autoloader capacity • 1μm/pixel confocal resolution • Simultaneous 2-color detection • Adjustable PMT gain (0–100%) • Real-time autofocus • Automatic barcode reading per slide • MAPIX batch acquisition and quantification software included
Core Features
24-Slide Autoloader Unattended batch scanning of up to 24 standard microscope slides. Automatic barcode reading per slide ensures full traceability across large experimental runs.
Ultra-High Resolution 1μm/pixel scanning with simultaneous dual-channel confocal detection. High-performance analog PMTs deliver the sensitivity required for low-abundance targets on high-density arrays.
Rapid Throughput Simultaneous reading of both detection channels. Scan a 22 × 22 mm² area at 1μm/pixel in 10.5 minutes, or complete a 10μm/pixel dual-color acquisition in 3.6 minutes per slide.
Flexible Optics 7-position filter wheel per channel with standard fluorescence and neutral density filters. Five additional emission filters available on request (554–613 nm for 532 nm channel; 658–742 nm for 635 nm channel).
