Molecular Devices GenePix 4300A Microarray Scanner

Molecular Devices GenePix 4300A Microarray Scanner

This Instrument has the 2 Laser Option fitted with the Red and Greeen Lasers

The GenePix 4300A scanner offers high resolution, high-quality imaging with 3-laser excitation. Configurations include 5 µm per-pixel maximum scanning resolution, choices of up to four lasers for excitation, and sixteen emission-wavelength filters.

Unparalleled signal-to-noise performance
With integrated hardware and software
Non-confocal optical design

Provides a powerful, flexible and easy to use solution for the acquisition and analysis of data from all types of arrays, including nucleic acids, proteins, tissues, and cells.

The non-confocal optics of the 4300A and 4400A scanners are designed specifically for microarray imaging. Confocal technology was originally developed for imaging thin sections of a thick sample for subsequent 3-D reconstruction as with tissue samples.
