The Capella™ Imager
provides an imaging solution for research groups that expect to analyze fewer than 10 ArrayPlates per day. The compact imager will fit on the benchtop in almost any lab, and provides data similar to the much larger Omix II™ Imager.
The imager uses night vision technology to image multiple panels of a 96 well plate. A typical full plate scan takes approximately 15 to 20 minutes to read; however, the instrument can be programmed to read smaller portions of the plate in order to save both time and reagents.
The Capella instrument is fully compatible with all of HTG’s 96 Well ArrayPlate formats. It is provided with user-friendly software that produces data files which are compatible with most bioinformatics software packages.
The Capella Imager comes with a Windows® computer pre-configured to run the instrument and provide storage for the scanned data.
Benefits:
- High quality data from a small, affordable instrument.
- High image resolution provides consistent, clean data; each individual array element (spot) is imaged by ~75 pixels to provide smooth and reproducible results.
- Exports .csv format files which are compatible with a wide range of bioinformatics software.
- Software will automatically normalize data to user-specified genes.
Specifications: Dimensions: 14”w, 16”d, 16”h. Requires a 120V, 60 cycle power source.
