ImagerBio C

ImagerBio C is a compact and portable instrument for imaging colorimetric microarrays and elispots.
The instrument operates in brightfield and darkfield illumination modes with bottom and top illuminations, respectively, as standard.

ImagerBio C can be used with both 96-well plates, 12 × 8-well strips as well as with microscopic sample glasses (in a special adapter).

Equipped with a high-sensitivity CMOS camera and various autofocus methods.

The instrument has an automatic mechanism for ejecting 96-well plates outside the housing.

ImagerBio C can be powered by a portable 20-volt lithium-ion battery, making it a portable instrument for field studies or point-of-care.
