Plate Reader Offers Real-Time Detection and Analysis

Tecan’s Spark Cyto cell plate reader offers real-time detection and analysis of biological, chemical, and physical events while consistently capturing the maximum amount of data from every well.

The device combines the flexibility of a high-end multimode plate reader with whole well imaging and comprehensive environmental control for cell-based assays. Capable camera components and a patent-pending LED autofocus system provide real-time data acquisition and analysis for 6- to 384-well formats.

The reader allows qualitative and quantitative information to be integrated into multiparametric data sets, delivering insights faster than previously available, the company states. With three magnification levels and four acquisition channels, the device enables entire cell populations to be investigated by capturing the whole well area of 96- or 384-well microplates in just one image without tiling or distortion.
